Reception edit

R. G. Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com opined that "Tenali Rama could have been a continuous laugh riot like the Malayalam original, but the script lets the film down. Ramesh and Jaggesh have tried their best to salvage the film, complementing each other very well".[3] A critic from Indiaglitz said that "This is a first class comedy in the first half".[5]
