Reception

A critic from Sify opined that "Director Surya Teja has done a neat job with Neeke Manasichaanu. The movie is hilarious with a routine story and is presented well".[6] Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "A BIT away from the usual comedy mode of films in which Srikanth plays lead, this film presents serious drama and leaves comedy for branded comedians".[7] Jeevi of Idlebrain stated that "It's not a bad film and you may watch it once for the comedy".[3] Mithun Verma of Full Hyderabad wrote that "The concept of the movie is pretty good, but the execution makes you wonder which planet the filmmakers hail from".[8]
