A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Teja has come out with a novel idea and tries to prove that anything is possible, provided one has a positive attitude. However, the idea fails to click and make an impact, looking totally cinematic".^[6] A critic from Telugucinema.com wrote that "Oka V Chitram is just an okay film".^[7] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "To cut a long story short, this one is the epitome of Teja’s assessment of his audiences".^[8]
