Reception
Times of India wrote " Whatever has happened to Phani Ramachandra? Of course, he was never the master of the large canvas, never had artistic pretensions, never made a great film. But he had his ear to the pulse of the average cinemagoer he could twist formula quite cleverly to make us laugh. Each time you came out of a Phani film, you thought, not bad, but let’s hope he betters himself next time. His Gowri Ganesha, for instance, was hugely popular. Ammavara Ganda had immense promise as a rib-tickle".[4] The Hindu wrote "Overall, although “Ammavra Ganda” is a comedy in patches, thanks only to Shiva Rajkumar, it is not a film with a definite social message as it is made to believe by the director; if anything, it is a bit of a spoof on women's clamour for equality. Unwittingly, Phani Ramachandra also reveals the sad state of a woman's world which is confined to a stereotyped, limited role."[5]
