Reception

Critical reception

The film generally received mixed reviews. Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5, and stated that "SR Kalyana Mandapam attempts to be a breezy tale backed by a novel story but falls into the trappings of every other 90s family or romantic drama." [20] A critic of Pinkvilla too gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5, and stated that "Chaitan Bharadwaj's music is enjoyable. Kiran's performance in the scene where he expresses pathos and guilt is superb. The film also has a subtle message related to parenting." [21] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote: "‘SR Kalyanamandapam’ is overdrawn, melodramatic and misogynistic with a sliver of a story." [22] Sakshi critic Anji Shetty who rated the film 2.5/5 opined that the film had a routine story and poor screenplay. Shetty, however, appreciated the performances of Kiran Abbavaram, Kumar and Jawalkar. [23] Murali Krishna CH of The New Indian Express felt that SR Kalyanamandapam was the kind of film that has been caught in the trappings of a 90s potboiler. [24]

Writing for Film Companion , Mukesh Manjunath praised Kiran Abbavaram's acting and Bharadwaj's music. He stated that "SR Kalyanamandapam Is A Father-Son Drama That Struggles To Make Its Leading Man A Star". [25] The Hans India opined that the film was typical "masala entertainer" filled with comedy tracks, romantic angles, and good emotional sequences. The critic added that the story was a perfect potboiler on paper but the makers failed to translate it well on the screen, giving a rating of 2.5 out of 5. [26] TV9's Dr. Challa Bhagya Lakshmi felt that the film perfectly showcased the relation between a father and a son. [27] A critic of HMTV pointed out that screenplay in the second half as its major weakness, and the climax and performances were it's strengths. [28]

Box office

SR Kalyanamandapam collected a distributors' share of ₹1.5 crore on its first day, [29] and ₹4.38 crore in three days. [30] By the end of the first week, the film grossed over ₹12.31 crore worldwide with distributors earning a share of ₹6.74 crore. [31]
