Reception

Critical response

R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Ramesh and Asha Latha shout in most of the sequences and this could have been avoided. And slapping on the cheek is another irritating factor in the film and it is certainly not comedy. Still, Mooru Guttu Ondhu Sullu Ondhu Nija is an enjoyable healthy comedy and a film like this has to be encouraged".^[4] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "The film has no gory stunt scenes. It has only one song Yeddelo Madesha. Music director Suma Shastri has provided good background music. It is a worthy watch for families".^[5] BSS from  Deccan Herald wrote "story takes a sentimental turn, but kudos to all the principal characters for not losing their poise. Though Ramesh’s dialogues smack of urbane intelligence, the actor doesn’t make it obvious. Komal is simply howlarious while Ashalatha comes second. ‘3Guttu, ondu sullu...’ is one of those films that can be viewed comfortably".^[6]
