Reception

A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "In short, Jhummandi Naadam has a stereotypical story. View it if you are an avid watcher of KRR's films". [3] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "On a whole, Jhummandi Naadam is a film that has something for every kind of audience". [4] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "A lullaby song, a classical song, a Sankranthi song, a marriage song, a usual Raghavendra Rao song, a folk song and then a patriotic song – we have all seen each kind of song in different situations and different films. But to see them all in one film, and then get some laugh out loud situations guarantees a thorough and wholesome entertainment". [5]
