Reception

Janani K. of India Today gave it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Though Keedaa Cola is predictable, it still remains to be a fun and entertaining watch". [2] Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "A philosophical quest wrapped in quirkiness!" [3]

Raghu Bandi of The Indian Express gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and noted that, "Tharun Bhascker’s Keedaa Cola is a fine comedy if you go in with no expectations and are ready to accept a few zany characters and outlandish settings". [4] A critic from 123telugu gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 and wrote, "Keedaa Cola is a watchable crime comedy-drama that has an engaging second half, and the last few minutes were crazy". [5]

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote, "There's plenty to root for in Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam's Telugu caper comedy Keedaa Cola, packed with oddball characters and unexpected situations". [6] On the contrary, a critic from NTV wrote that "While the team wanted to deliver a satire, they just delivered an obsession of ideas that don’t really sit together. Movie could have been a fun screwball dark comedy had the characters had been connectible. Tharun seems to have gone for Japanese weird style dark comedy but it fizzed off by the end". [7]
