Reception[edit]
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and opined that "Evvarikee Cheppoddu is like a surprising, breath of fresh air in midst of all the mass masala. Debutant Basava Shankar selected a script that tells the same ol’ tale. But the way he handles it, exploring something like caste feeling with a humorous touch is what sets him apart".[9] A critic from 123telugu said that "On the whole, Evvarikee Cheppoddu is a message-oriented love story that impresses in bits and pieces. The chemistry between the lead pair and a few romantic scenes related to them are showcased well".[10]
