Reception
A critic from 123telugu rated the film two and one-fourth out of five stars and wrote that "Kathalo Rajakumari is yet another disappointing outing from Nara Rohit. Though the first half is okay with some passable moments, the second half completely disappoints the audience with its boring and slow paced narration."{{cite news |title=Kathalo Rajakumari Telugu Movie Review {{!}} Nara Rohit Kathalo Rajakumari Telugu Movie Review {{!}} Kathalo Rajakumari Movie Review {{!}} Kathalo Rajakumari Cinema Review {{!}} Kathalo Rajakumari Review and Rating {{!}} Kathalo Rajakumari telugu Review and Rating {{!}} Kathalo Rajakumari Telugu Cinema Review {{!}} Kathalo Rajakumari Movie Review {{!}} Latest Telugu cinema news {{!}} Movie reviews {{!}} OTT Updates, OTT |url=https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/kathalo-rajakumari-telugu-movie-review.html |access-date=14 August 2024 |work=123telugu.com |date=16 September 2017 |language=en}} A critic from The Times of India rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "the whole film seems like something only a child could dream up, with trivial incidents leading to catastrophic consequences."{{cite news |title=Kathalo Rajakumari Movie Review |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/kathalo-rajakumari/movie-review/60528175.cms |access-date=14 August 2024 |work=The Times of India}} A critic from Firstpost wrote that "Nara Rohith, Naga Shourya's film is avoidable at best".{{cite news |title=Kathalo Rajakumari review round-up: Nara Rohith, Naga Shourya's film is avoidable at best |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/kathalo-rajakumari-review-round-up-nara-rohith-naga-shouryas-film-is-avoidable-at-best-4047441.html |access-date=14 August 2024 |work=Firstpost |date=15 September 2017 |language=en-us}}
