Reception

A critic from 123telugu gave the series 2.25/5 stars and wrote that "Papam Pasivadu, a coming-of-age web series, falls short of leaving a lasting impression despite Sreerama Chandra's commendable performance. The simple storyline, coupled with occasional moments of laughter, suggests exploring alternative entertainment options for a more engaging weekend." [6]

Nelki Naresh Kumar of Hindustan Times stated that "Papam Pasivadu is a light-hearted entertainment series. While it may lack originality in terms of its storyline and plots, it still offers a pleasant viewing experience that can be enjoyed for entertainment purposes. It's worth considering for a leisurely watch, despite the absence of groundbreaking narratives." [7]

A critic from Eenadu wrote that "Lalit Kumar's adept use of humor breathes life into the familiar tale, keeping the audience engaged even during moments of the hero's perplexity. The narrative skillfully balances confusion with clarity, delivering a commentary that ensures both amusement and comprehension." [8]

Srivathsan Nadadhur of OTTPlay gave the series 1/5 stars and wrote that "Papam Pasivadu falls flat as a comedy, relying on weak jokes and scenes for laughs. Sreerama Chandra's disappointing acting makes it a weekend watch to skip." [9]

A critic from Cinejosh gave the series 1.5/5 stars and stated that "Lalith Kumar effectively depicts Sreerama Chandra as a modern youth in 'Papam Pasivadu,' but the film falters due to a lackluster storyline, unengaging sequences, and a slow-paced narration, ultimately failing to deliver as a typical youthful entertainer." [10]

Surya Prakash of Asianet News stated that "The five-episode series falls short of expectations, lacking major twists and suffering from routine elements. While Sri Rama Chandra's acting shines, attempts at showcasing the confusion in youth regarding love and marriage feel somewhat forced, and the overall screenplay could have been more carefully crafted." [11]
