Reception

Men Too received mixed reviews from critics and audience. 123Telugu gave the film 2.25 out of 5 stars and wrote, "The director could have done a better job of showcasing the problems of all three lead characters more engagingly. Naresh Agastya's performance is praiseworthy. On the whole, Men Too is a bit disappointing, except for a few funny scenes that provide some enjoyment. The performances by the lead actors and Mourya's comedy are the film's only plus points. The main theme of the film is not discussed engagingly. The sluggish screenplay in the second half and a few unnecessary scenes make Men Too an underwhelming watch. [6]

IMDb User ratings gave it 5.2 out of 10 stars. [7]

Srivathsan Nadadhur of OTTplay gave it 1 out of 5 stars and wrote,"MenToo is a silly film revolving around a few butthurt men with provocative generalisations about women. [8]

Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "With a dose of comedy, the film tries to bring in and present an interesting perspective from the vantage point of men but fumbles in its execution. [9]
