Reception

Vyas of The Hans India rated the film two and one-fourth out of five stars and wrote, "The weak characterizations played the spoil sport for the movie. The movie lacks freshness and it is too predictable. With no proper story and screenplay, the director just tried to pull off the movie which didn't happen." [4] Suhas Yellapantula of The Times of India gave the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "With a senseless plot, amateurish writing and loud, over-the-top humour, Silly Fellows is as silly as they come. Disappointing!" [5] Kumar Siva of India Herald wrote, "With mediocre music and editing, Silly Fellows is what you should not even watch when you are extremely silly and free." [6]
