Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film 2.75 out of 5 and wrote that "Despite being “A” certified film and despite having some issues, Maa Oori Pelimera has elements to thrill the masses and is a preferable film to those who love these kinds of thrillers".[3] A critic from OTTplay rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Maa Oori Polimera 2 has all the ingredients to entice a thriller-junkie with a restless, twist-a-minute screenplay (with an overdose of flashbacks) backed by commendable performances".[4] A critic from The South First wrote that "The story of Maa Oori Polimera 2 lacks freshness. With a few unexcited and below-par twists, director Anil Vishwanath fails to add the required ingredients to make a mystery thriller, eventually making this sequel less spooky and eerie".[5]
