Reception edit
B. Srinivas of Sify wrote that "EVV Satyanarayana’s Ammo! Okatothedi is a thought-provoking movie that tries to come up with a logical solution for the Indian middle-class. He wants every member of the family to earn a decent living, instead of leaving the burden on one individual. EVV has an excellent performer in L B Sriram. The characters he weaves like the nagging aged father, an irresponsible son, and daughters, who are more close to reality, seem very true-to-life".[3]
