Reception

R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "Pandavaru is an enjoyable film, but the fact that it is a remake with less of sensitivity and more of crudity may be a negative factor".[6] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Pandavaru is a good one time watch as it essentially entertains without allowing the viewers to think. It is faithful to the original, and the artists have done well".[7] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "Overall, a good entertainer".[8] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "The other two plus points in Pandavaru are music and cinematography. Hamsalekha gives three lovely tunes and the lyrics are quite impressive. Dasari Seenu handling the action scenes and lot of characters in the frame deserves appreciation".[1]
