Sify gave the film a rating of three out of five and wrote that "Veedhi is a dead end and most inept movie of the year award should go to its director Dorairaj".^[2][3] The Full Hyderabad wrote that "The film has lesser logic than a bowl of goldfish – what lend it some platform of watchability are the performances".
