Srividya Palaparthi of The Times of India rated the film 2/5 stars and wrote, "A film that is merely two hours and eleven minutes long, because of all the hullabaloo feels extremely long. [...] Sapthagiri Express feels like you’re watching a showreel of the actor’s comedy sketches. This one is strictly for those who love brainless comedy and Sapthagiri." [5] Y. Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu gave it 2/5 stars and wrote, "The father-son relationship and Saptagiri’s monologue impress but the director fails to keep the audience interested till the end." [6]
