Release and reception
editThe film was released theatrically on 15 March 2024.[5]
A critic from The Hindu wrote that "It’s the writing that needed some zing, without which the film ends up as a well-intended but mundane public service announcement cautioning people to stay away from chit funds and gold schemes that promise big gains within a short time".[6] A critic from 123Telugu rated the film two out of five and wrote that "On the whole, Sharathulu Varthisthai is a film that is aimed at middle-class people, but the treatment is boring for the most part".[7]
