Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote, "First half of the film is OK. But the second half is unimaginative and was poorly handled. This is a typical formula film tried to cash in the success of the pair 'Tarun-Richa' of Nuvve Kavali".^[5]

CV of Telugucinema.com reviewed Chirujallu as a disappointing youth love story with an unimpressive screenplay and predictable twists, despite Tarun's commendable performance.^[6]

Andhra Today wrote "The director displays no maturity in the screen-play as well as the treatment of the story. It disappoints and falls to win any appreciation from the audience".^[7]
