Reception
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com opined that "The producers should be appreciated for selecting a novel storyline. But substandard execution marred the prospects of the film".{{Cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-relax.html|title=Movie review - Relax|work=Idlebrain.com|date=25 February 2005|last=Jeevi}} B. Anuradha of Rediff.com wrote that "Debutant director Pradeep Shetty's offbeat film included a rare mix of comedy with astrology. It is based on a 'different' story amid routine romantic Telugu movies, and the makers should be lauded for betting on such a concept".{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2005/mar/01relax.htm|title=Relax: A very hatke movie!|date=1 March 2005|work=Rediff.com|first=B.|last=Anuradha}} Ravi Kalaga of Full Hyderabad said that "Relax combines astrology with modern philosophy to weave a tale astutely as to how someone with an in-depth knowledge of prediction can change the destinies of many. But unfortunately, the producers and the director forgot to predict their own destinies after this blunder".{{Cite web|url=https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/relax/telugu/relax-movie-reviews-711-2.html|title=Relax Review|last=Kalaga|first=Ravi|work=Full Hyderabad}}
