Reception

The Times of India rated the film 2.75/5 and wrote, "Super Machi is an emotional suspense drama with a pure love story, which will appeal to the youth. Kalyaan Dhev's sincere performance and good drama in the first half are basic assets." [11] A reviewer from Sakshi appreciated the director for bringing novelty in a routine storyline but opined that the emotional scenes in the latter half were poorly executed. [12] Raju Aithagoni of Asianet News also echoed the same while praising the film's climax. [13]

Praveen Kumar Vadla of News18 Telugu felt that it was part-emotional and part-confusing, rating it 2.5/5. [14] Pinkvilla 's Bhavan Sharma, who rated the film 1.5/5, stated that it was entertaining in bits and pieces. "On the whole, this romantic drama fails to engage as it lacks a strong point to make the film interesting," she concluded. [15]
