Reception

A critic from Deccan Chronicle wrote that "The film is worth a watch just for Saptagiri’s histrionics". [3] A critic from The Times of India opined that "The story isnt as striking as the performances. Watch it for Saptagiri's comedy". [4] A critic from Idlebrain.com wrote that "Plus points are spicy dialogues and entertainment provided by Saptagiri and Sai Kumar Pampana. A better handling of romance/emotions coupled with an arresting screenplay in second half is needed for an impressive output". [5] A critic from 123Telugu said that "On the whole, Lovers clicks only because of the entertaining second half, and Sapathagiri’s hilarious comedy". [6]
