Reception

Sravan Vanaparthy of The Times of India rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and called it a "crime thriller minus thrills." Vanaparthy wrote that: "While the story seems strong on paper, with the plot points even raking interest, the execution falters making for a passable watch."[3] A reviewer from Eenadu appreciated the performances of Sunil and Vaishali Raj but criticized the storyline and screenplay.[4] Asianet News Network critic Surya Kumar Joshyula felt that Sunil was underutilized in the film. Joshyula added that while the direction was impressive in parts, overall the narration style dragged the film down.[5] 123telugu.com concluded its review by stating: "On the whole, Kanabadutaledu is a film that has a good plot but is spoilt by some disappointing execution and worse dubbing. Sunil makes some sense in the second half but that is not enough to save the film from sinking."
