Reception
A critic from The Hindu opined that "The film is a family drama though the director fails to elevate the hero's image in this film and the entire narration becomes boring.".[4] A critic from Sify stated that "On the whole, it is a boring affair".[1] A critic from Full Hyderabad said that "Avoid this one at all costs".[5] Jeevi of Idlebrain gave the film a more favourable review and wrote that "On a whole, Rajababu is much better than the films Raja Sekhar dished out in the recent past".[6]
Writing for Zamin Ryot, Griddaluru Gopalrao called the film slow-placed, adding the director dragged the screenplay by adding scenes catering to the actor's image.[7]
