A critic from The Times of India wrote that "High on intense violence, strong language and bold romance, the film manages to entertain and thrill in parts. However, it is not for the faint-hearted".[6] A critic from Sakshi Post wrote that "Thaggede Le is a thriller movie that works to an extent. There is plenty of violence and also adult content. Watch it if you don't mind those elements".[7] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "On the whole, Taggede Le is a film which has an interesting backdrop but is spoiled by dull screenplay and lack of thrill factor".[8]
