Reception

Mr. Pellikoduku opened to mixed reviews from the critics. The Hindu gave a review stating "Mr. Pellikoduku is a hotchpotch remake. Re-visit Tanu Weds Manu instead."[4] IBN Live gave a review stating "Mr Pellikoduku, the remake of 'Tanu weds Manu' fails to recreate the magic."[5] The Times of India gave a review stating "Forget Tanu Weds Manu was ever made and you might be able to see the funny side of it all."[6] Sify.com gave a review stating the movie to be a "unsatisfying remake".[7]

Rediff.com gave a review of rating 2/5 stating "Mr Pellikoduku has all the badly written additions woven into it. The music isn't appealing either. The Telugu version sadly fails and scores on no account."[8] Oneindia Entertainment gave a review of rating 2.5/5 stating "Overall, Mr Pellikoduku is a poor remake of Tanu Weds Manu, but you can still watch and enjoy it."[9] APHerald.com gave a review of rating 2/5 stating "With unimpressive technical team, poor efforts by lead pair Mr. Pellikoduku killed the natural & fresh feel which 'Tanu Weds Manu' had in it. It's better to buy 'Tanu Weds Manu' DVD than buying Mr. Pellikoduku ticket."[10]
