Release

Prior to the release of the film, Annapurna Studios sent a complaint to Dasari Narayana Rao saying that he owned money to them from the failure of Ramanaidu Studios' Prema Mandiram (1981) starring Akkineni Nageswara Rao and had to pay it before Sammakka Sarakka (2000) could release. D. Suresh Babu intervened and sent the needed dues to Annapurna Studios. [7]

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "If you like 'Osey Ramulamma' and if you want to watch the badly executed 'Osey Ramulamma', watch this film!" [3]
