Reception
editA critic from Andhra Jyothi wrote that "These days there are more films that will tear the brains of the audience! But there is a lack of movies that feed the brain! If we go deeper into this, two castes ... two religions are found. Humanity stands out as the only exception. Kudos to the producer for making a film with such a thoughtful story".
A critic from Prajasakti wrote that "In this film, the story, dialogues and background are more important. Young director Narasimha Rao Relangi has portrayed the novel of Smt. Anuradha Ramanan in a heart-wrenching manner. Especially the second half of the film leaves a big impression on the audience. This film attracts women very much".
A critic from Visalaandhra wrote that "Siksha is a film produced by an Andhra magazine based on the themes of wedding vows, wife's responsibility for their husband, their duty and their influence in society. The dialogues in the film are to be applauded in many places! Director Relangi can't just make a laugh-out-loud film... he can also make such emotional films as well!"[1]
