Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "Over all, Kalusukovalani is an average fare".^[5] A critic from Sify wrote that "The only saving grace of this insipid movie is the music of Devi Sri Prasad and the camera of Sameer Reddy".^[6] Andhra Today wrote "Director Raghuraj does little to hide the fact that he is new to the job. Although the story is quite good, it becomes a casualty in the hands of the newcomer. The first half is slow, but the second half compensates by its interesting scenes while Ravi and Anjali are searching for each other".^[7]
