Reception

The song became the one of the most viewed Telugu song in 24 hours of its release on YouTube. [35]

Release

The audio of the song was released on 15 March 2018. [36] [37] It was released on YouTube as a lyrical video song on 20 March 2018, through Lahari Music and T-Series. [38] After the success of its audio, the fans were highly anticipated for the music and video frequently asked makers to release video song. [39]

The promo of music video was released on 27 March, coinciding with Ram Charan's birthday. [40] [41] A critic of 123 Telugu wrote "What hits you right away in the teaser is the mass steps of Charan. The star hero is seen having a time of his life grooving to DSP’s beats. This clearly shows that his fans are going to have a gala time watching Charan and Pooja with full on energy." [42] The full video song, featuring visuals directly from the film, was released on 13 May 2018 on YouTube. [43]

Critical reception

Papri Paul of The Times of India praised the song and wrote "The high on energy song is massy and may sound raunchy at times, but has a unique appeal and distinct essence that will get everyone grooving. Pooja looks gorgeous as a village belle as she matches steps with Ram Charan. This is her first item number, however her dance moves and sultry expressions took her oomph factor a notch higher." [44]

Zee News complimented the song and wrote "Though the situation and the purpose of the song Jigelu Rani are entirely different from that of Chikni Chameli, Pooja's avatar reminds us of Katrina in the Hindi song. However, both the songs have a unique appeal and distinct essence of their own." [45]

Mridula Ramadugu of Firstpost wrote "'Jigelu Rani' is the 'Diyalo Diyalo' of the album. 'Diyalo Diyalo' from 100% love for the same director was also one of the few songs were we got a taste of DSP's folk side and Jigelu takes over as one of those. This happens to the be the item number of the jukebox and makes you want to do a step or two. 'Jigelu Rani', by the sounds of it, has got all the village men at Jigelu Rani's doorstep breaking into Kuthu beats, as well, every once in a while. Rela Kumar and Ganta Venkata Lakshmi’s vocals on the track are local renditions at its best. You can’t miss their strong Rayalaseema slang throughout this entertaining composition." [46]

A critic of Indiaglitz opined "Devi Sri Prasad consciously chooses the female voice so that the song doesn't have a trace of the post-2000 item song feel. Ganta Venkata Lakshmi's voice may be initially unsettling. Rela Kumar's voice fits the bill. Chandrabose's lyrics are crazy in a conventional setting. The wonderment of the men at the sight of a beauty, her knack for wearing her naughtiness on the sleeve, etc are also known elements". [47]

A critic of India.com wrote "The song Jigelu Rani is full of energy and even though it is massy and aimed at sounding raunchy, the elegance and grace that both the star’s bring in to their performance saves the day. Pooja looks gorgeous as the village belle as she matches steps and speed with Ram Charan. The song will definitely make you want to drop everything and dance as well." [39]

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com noted "Pooja Hegde provides the much needed entertainment relief towards climax with her dance in Jigelu Rani song." [48] A critic of Samayam wrote Ram Charan's and Pooja Hegde's dance moves are the highlight of the song. [49]

The song received positive reception from audiences, praising the music and lyrics, and became a huge success. [50] The track became a chartbuster upon its release.

[57] Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu revealed that she done an item number in Pushpa: The Rise seeing the Hegde's dance in this song. [58]

The Times of India wrote "through alluring dance-moves in "Jigelu Rani" item number, Pooja has become a hot favourite among the masses in no time". [59] [60] A critic of Bollywood Hungama described it as "superhit" song from Rangasthalam. [61] A critic of The Economic Times noted Hegde made a "memorable apperance". [62] Priyanka Sundar of Hindustan Times stated that the success of "Jigelu Rani" increased the expectations for the film. [63] Femina wrote Hegde's act in the song became the "talk of the town".

Controversy
