Reception
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "The film is a let down for movie lovers who expected another good film from Ravi Babu. The assets of the film are artwork by Bhupesh and music by Chakri. The main drawback of the film is insipid screenplay, lack of nativity and artificial characterization. The scenes that depict sex are bland in the film".[1] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "It is not a film to be taken seriously nor to get entertained. . The cast is full of new faces and is difficult to find who plays which role. Histrionically speaking they are all a set of amateurs".[2] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "It will take us another 10 good films for viewers to recover from horrendous fare like this one. Hmmm, that means you have to wait a lifetime to get over Ammayilu Abbayilu".[3] Telugu Cinema wrote "Definitely Ravibabu is a talented Director, but his style of making is not appreciable and it wouldn’t attract the family crowds, it is difficult to see such a Film with family at least an hour. Direction is great and he showed his talent in his debut movie Allari and he used the talent in this too. First half of the film is full of comedy but the Director has lost the grip in second half. One gets confused about the Sentiment scenes in the second half, if the scene is sentiment or comedy. Screenplay in second half is not much attractive".[4]
