Reception
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film rated the film two-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "On a whole, Snehitudais [sic] has a promising plot, but is marred by bad and uninteresting narration". A critic from The Times of India rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "Despite picking a hackneyed plot, writer-director Satyam B fails to pen a gripping narration and mars the show. If he believes that a couple of comedy scenes could compensate for a well-crafted film than he is grossly mistaken". Deepa Garimella felt that the film drew a fine line between thriller and family drama. She praised the first half of the film as "a pretty entertaining watch", but panned the second half for its "outdated climax" and "cheesy dialogue". Overall, she gave the film a rating of 4.5/10, not recommending it for kids.
