Reception
A critic from The Hindu opined, "The director has nothing new to offer as the film unfolds on predictable lines". A critic from Sify wrote, "Toli Choopulone is a letdown. This banal love story has not been worked out properly. Added to that the lead pair Kalyan Ram and Akansha are total disasters, as they cannot emote".{{Cite web | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050121203252/http://sify.com/movies/telugu/review.php?id=13282532&ctid=5&cid=2430 | url=http://sify.com/movies/telugu/review.php?id=13282532&ctid=5&cid=2430 | archive-date=2005-01-21 | title=Review - Toli Choopulone| website=Sify }} However, Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and praised Kalyan Ram's performance and the comedy.{{cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-tolichoopulone.html|title=Movie review — Toli Choopulone|publisher=idlebrain.com|accessdate=2 July 2019|archive-date=3 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190703012312/http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-tolichoopulone.html|url-status=live|last=Jeevi}}
