Reception

A critic from The Hindu opined that "The film is a family drama though the director fails to elevate the hero's image in this film and the entire narration becomes boring.". [4] A critic from Sify stated that "On the whole, it is a boring affair". [1] A critic from Full Hyderabad said that "Avoid this one at all costs". [5] Jeevi of Idlebrain gave the film a more favourable review and wrote that "On a whole, Rajababu is much better than the films Raja Sekhar dished out in the recent past". [6]

Writing for Zamin Ryot , Griddaluru Gopalrao called the film slow-placed, adding the director dragged the screenplay by adding scenes catering to the actor's image. [7]
