Reception
A critic from The Hindu opined that "The director has nothing new to offer as the film unfolds on predictable lines". A critic from Sify wrote that "Toli Choopulone is a letdown. This banal love story has not been worked out properly. Added to that the lead pair Kalyan Ram and Akansha are total disasters, as they cannot emote". However, Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and praised Kalyan Ram's performance and the comedy.
