Reception
[edit]Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India gave rating of 3 out of 5 and wrote that "The only gripe one can find with American Dream is that it is much darker than what it seems. But if one is ready for it, the film won't disappoint".[4] 123Telugu wrote in their review that, "The narrative is uneven for most parts. The director Koushik pens a simple yet effective storyline. The end portion is handled well, but the opening exchanges are bland and the pace of the proceedings keeps dropping every now and again".[5] Another reviewer opined that the film makes an okay watch as the backdrop of the US and relatable situations connect with the audiences.[6]
