Reception

Radhika Rajmani of Rediff.com rated the film 2+1⁄2 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Uday Shankar takes up a stereotypical storyline in Baladoor and manages to entertain with a satisfactory screenplay in a formulaic way with a mix of action, comedy and romance."[3] Zamin Ryot's Alluru Rahim in criticized the film's "lackluster screenplay" and added that the director did not handle sentiment properly.[4] In an other negative review, Y. Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu stated, "Baladoor is an average film, as the banner doesn’t offer nothing new in narration."[5]
