Reception
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "The film is a let down for movie lovers who expected another good film from Ravi Babu. The assets of the film are artwork by Bhupesh and music by Chakri. The main drawback of the film is insipid screenplay, lack of nativity and artificial characterization. The scenes that depict sex are bland in the film".[1] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "It is not a film to be taken seriously nor to get entertained. . The cast is full of new faces and is difficult to find who plays which role. Histrionically speaking they are all a set of amateurs".[2] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "It will take us another 10 good films for viewers to recover from horrendous fare like this one. Hmmm, that means you have to wait a lifetime to get over Ammayilu Abbayilu".[3]
