Reception
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote, "Only saving grace of this film is some neat photography by Sreenivasa Reddy and royal performance of K Vishwanath".{{cite web | url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-manasu.html | title=Manasu Paddanu Kaani - Movie Review|date=26 February 2000|work=Idlebrain.com|last=Jeevi}} A critic from Andhra Today noted, "Veeru K. does not make an impression with any of the departments - neither story nor direction, neither screen-play nor music - but tests the patience of the audience. A vain bid to make a movie by hashing out bits of various successful hits along with a copied comedy leave no impact on the audience".{{cite web | url=http://www.andhratoday.com/movie/manasu.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020615150209/http://www.andhratoday.com/movie/manasu.htm | archive-date=15 June 2002 | title=Reviews }}
