Deccan Chronicle cited the film as "a decent outing", with particular praise for Payal Rajput's performance. [4] 123telugu gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that "Rakshana is a crime thriller that manages to catch our attention only in a few scenes. Payal Rajput is very good in her role, and the script has the potential to become a good investigative thriller. However, the underwhelming execution, dull moments, and technical issues restrict the film from becoming a satisfactory outing". [5]
