Reception
editA critic from Idlebrain.com wrote that "On a while Adirindayya Chandram makes a below-average flick".[1] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "The production qualities just about at par. But director Srinivasa Reddy shows that he can handle sentimental family subjects without being cloying or maudlin."[8] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "It sure is a good watch for the guaranteed humor, but the rationed quantities of romance and titillation might just let you down a little".[9]
