Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 1.5/5 and said that "An overblown drama is all you get in lieu of an exciting treasure hunt". [11] [12] Murali Krishna CH of The New Indian Express wrote that "To say the least, VKG is a bland, boring and unintentionally amusing saga that plods on for over 140-minutes". [13] 123 Telugu wrote that "On the whole, Vajra Kavachadara Govinda is commercial drama which does not have anything going its way. The plot is weak and the treatment is even more disappointing. Except for Sapatgiri’s sincere performance and some comedy, this film falls flat in many aspects". [14] [15] [16]
