Reception edit
Hemanth Kumar of Firstpost rated the film 3/5 and stated: "Kobbari Matta is not only consistently absurd and over the top, but also, it’s an excuse to laugh at ourselves and the cliches prevalent in Telugu cinema."[4] On performances, The Hindu Y. Sunitha Chowdhary opined: "Sampoornesh gets enough dances to show his talent and it is evident he has worked hard to shed his potbelly. Mahesh Katti shines as Kaamudu."[5] A reviewer from Cinema Express also rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "This isn’t a film that takes itself too seriously but is meant to be ridiculous and some more."[6]
