The hackneyed plot and lack of novelty make this film a regular watch, this film is something for the masses."[14] 123 Telugu wrote "Sarrainodu is indeed an ooraa mass entertainer. The film has many elements which will enthrall the fans and mass general audience. Bunny's stunning transformation, Aadi's screen presence and amazing action sequences are huge assets."[12]
