Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "There’s a bit of comedy but on the whole there’s hardly anything that you will keep looking forward to in the movie. You know how it will end. You won’t be wrong".{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/na-rakumarudu/movie-review/30894657.cms|title=NA RAKUMARUDU MOVIE REVIEW|date=21 February 2014|work=The Times of India|access-date=4 July 2023|archive-date=26 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226233441/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/na-rakumarudu/movie-review/30894657.cms|url-status=live}}
