Critical reception
Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 saying that, "‘Chal Mohan Ranga’ is an aimless and time-pass ride, which starts out with promise and has a few highs – if only it had a better story and character development."[8] Priyanka Sundar of Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that the film "suffers throughout because of cliches and would have been unbearable if not for the comedy woven throughout."[9] Hemanth Kumar of First Post gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, "This was a soul-sucking experience and it's hard to recall any other ‘romantic drama’ in recent times which crushed the whole point of what makes a romantic film ‘romantic’ to pulp and that too in such a glorious manner."[10] Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 saying that, "First half is narrated in an entertaining way and the second half is saved by the climax. It's just a time pass film."[11]
