Reception

Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India opined that "Power Play starts out well but goes down a slippery slope as the film progresses. A better treatment would’ve made this a must-watch."^[4] A critic from Telugucinema.com said that "Director Vijay Kumar Konda attempts a thriller for the first time and tries to narrate two parallel plots side by side and tries to mix them in the end. But the way he treats the scenes is not that impressive and it ends up as a bore".^[5][6]
