Reception
A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "As a whole, Arunkumar has once again faced disappointment with poor storyline". A critic from 123Telugu said that "It is tough to believe that he [Dasari Narayana Rao] is writing such regressive scripts for his son – almost seems like he does not want Arun to succeed in filmdom". A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Aadi Vishnu is such a lousy movie, you have to watch 10 lousier movies after that and then watch it again to feel better about the money and time you spent on it".
