Release and reception

In July 2021, the release date of the film was announced as 6 August 2021.[8][9] The film was premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 2 October 2021. 123Telugu gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that "Mugguru Mongallu is a comedy thriller that tries too hard to impress. Though Srinivasa Reddy and a few thrills impress, the film fails to create an impact and is neither a good thriller and a comedy caper."[10]
