Reception

A critic from The Hindu opined, "The director has nothing new to offer as the film unfolds on predictable lines".^[2] A critic from Sify wrote, "Toli Choopulone is a letdown. This banal love story has not been worked out properly. Added to that the lead pair Kalyan Ram and Akansha are total disasters, as they cannot emote".^[3] However, Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and praised Kalyan Ram's performance and the comedy.^[4]
