Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com opined that "The producers should be appreciated for selecting a novel storyline. But substandard execution marred the prospects of the film". [2] B. Anuradha of Rediff.com wrote that "Debutant director Pradeep Shetty's offbeat film included a rare mix of comedy with astrology. It is based on a 'different' story amid routine romantic Telugu movies, and the makers should be lauded for betting on such a concept". [3] Ravi Kalaga of Full Hyderabad said that "Relax combines astrology with modern philosophy to weave a tale astutely as to how someone with an in-depth knowledge of prediction can change the destinies of many. But unfortunately, the producers and the director forgot to predict their own destinies after this blunder". [4]
