Reception

A critic from Cinema Express rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "It is uneven, often embarrassing, sometimes graceful. It gives us glimpses of a better film within it, and if nothing else, it pushes Telugu cinema a little further into uncomfortable terrain". [2] A critic from The Times of India rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "A watchable entertainer with clean humour, strong performances and a quirky hook that falters in execution. If you can overlook the predictable beats and uneven second half, Sundarakanda works as a light watch". [3] A critic from The Hindu wrote, "Director Venkatesh Nimmalapudi has a smart premise, though the treatment is a mixed bag. It errs on way too many occasions to be a light, memorable film with a quirky concept". [4] A critic from OTTplay rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "On the whole, Sundarakanda is a new-age romantic drama that has good comedy, amazing emotions, and a contemporary take on love". [5]
