Release and reception

After being delayed, the film released on 13 July 2001.[2]

Ajay Bashyam of Full Hyderabad wrote that "Raamma Chilakamma gets better after the first 45 minutes when the main story kicks in, and keeps you actually interested in knowing what's going to happen next".[7] A critic from indiainfo wrote that "TammaReddy Bhardwaja who made good films earlier, churned out this time a rather dud film with ludicrous story and bad screenplay".[8]

The film was a box office failure.[4]
