Reception
editReviewing the film for Deccan Herald, a critic wrote that "Despite a catchy title, Romeo Juliet seems to have failed to attract the film buffs. First and foremost the movie appears to be a duplicate of Ninagagi though both the films were made almost simultaneously by different directors".[4]
