Recognition

Sify stated of Ashta Chamma, that it was a "complete family entertainer" inspired from the works of Oscar Wilde and that it "is fun to watch due to the cute subject". [2] They expanded that it was a "completely dialogue-based comedy coupled with good performances, music, and lyrics, keeping audience through the twists nevertheless. The first half is more enjoyable than the second half that has numerous twists." [2] Concurring, GreatAndhra wrote that the film's theme was silly, but dealt with hilariously. The film's music received special mention, in that with the song Aadinchi Astachemma Odinchavamma "composition and lyrical value is interesting and captivating", [3] and the song Hello Antoo Pilichi was "purposefully taken in old style." [3]

Rediff Movies stated that based upon the novel The Men Within by Harimohan Paruvu, the film Golconda High School is brilliant, [4] and India Glitz praised the film, calling it "inspirational". [5]

Of Uyyala Jampala, The Deccan Chronicle wrote that while "a predictable love story" it was "narrated well." [6] Both written and produced by Ram Mohan P, it was stated that the film "is an earnest love story without unnecessary embellishments. There are no big action scenes, no vulgar dialogues, no unpredictable twists and turns; the story, told in flashback, unfolds simply." It was concluded "All in all, the movie impresses despite having a predictable plot with good dialogues, a reasonable length — thanks to clever editing — and amazing cinematography. A much better fare than your staple masala flick – go for it." [6] The Hindu made note that for a low-budget film it compared well with large-budget efforts, and released during the Christmas season, it resonated well with viewers, [7] and International Business Times shared numerous positive reviews of the film and wrote that overall it was a "breezy love story worth watching".
