Release

The Times of India gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of five and wrote that "The good news is, Niharika is a revelation as Suryakantham, a character that is a refreshing change from the kinds of damsel-in-distresses TFI [Telugu film industry] usually seems to offer". [5] The Hindu wrote that "The plot is nothing new, and by the end of the film, it feels like another web series put up on the big screen". [6] The New Indian Express gave the film two out of five stars and wrote that "With a strong first half, it is a shame that Pranith couldn’t keep up the expectations in the second half aside from a couple of high moments". [7] The Hans India wrote, "The movie has a weak story and draggy scenes which are the minus points. Overall, Suryakantham is a good film but can be watched only once." [2]
