Reception
editA critic from 123telugu rated the film 2+1⁄4 out of 5 and wrote that "All in all, Pedavi Datani Matokatundi comes with a different concept but fails to pack a punch, owing to its ill-paced narration and confusing screenplay. The movie looks half-baked as it heads with no real direction".[6][7]
