Reception

Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Dull, predictable and cliched, Orey Bujjiga falters on many levels and truly tests your patience."^[2] A review of The Hans India gave 2.5 out of 5 and stated that "sloppy screenplay will test the patience of the audience."^[3] Andhra Jyothi also criticized the film for its weak screenplay, opining that it is devoid of any "twists and turns." The reviewer also added that the film's score by Rubens is forgettable.^[4]

The Hindu's Sangeetha Devi wrote that "The Telugu rom-com rides on an old, predictable tale", and added "Apart from a few comic segments that overstay their welcome, the lack of depth to some of the characters makes the film disappointing."^[5]
