editThe Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "Overall, it’s the interesting and funny twists in the second half that make O Pitta Katha an entertaining watch".[4] The Sakshi gave the film a rating of three stars, out of five, and has further stated that "Despite the confusing screenplay and direction, everyone can watch this film, without any confusion".[5] On the contrary, The Hindu stated that "Sadly here, there is no upgrading in terms of dialogues or entertainment despite having the scope. Songs are pleasing but Sunil Kumar Nama's cinematography highlights the limitations of the artistes".[6]
