Reception

edit

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "The predictable plot of the film does not leave anything fresh to the viewer. The screenplay should have been better".[2] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "on the whole, Sri is a movie to skip. Only fans of Mohan Babu might salvage something for his son".[6] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "Sri, on the whole, may be a title of respect. But the film deserves little".[7]
