Release and reception edit

The film was set to release on 26 September 2013,[12] but had to be postponed to 8 November due to advance release of Attharintiki Daaredhi.[13] The Times of India gave the film a rating of three-and-half out of five stars and stated that "It's that kind of a movie that didn't draw the masses into the theatres when it was released, however, it's worth a watch. Rahul deserves appreciation for portraying his role just perfect".[14] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "Nenem Chinna Pillana is a routine and boring family drama. A decent first half is let down by a heavy dose of sentiment and melodrama in the second half. Rahul Ravindran has given a good performance, but that is not enough to salvage this film".[1]
