Reception
A critic from 123telugu said that "On the whole, Telugabbai is one film which has everything going against it right from the word go. Outdated story, routine dialogues and some very bad direction make the film go haywire".[8] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "Overall, Telugabbai is a good entertainer with all outdated stuffs. Watch it at your own risk".[9]
