Reception
editPrasad of Zamin Ryot wrote that Bapu has a kind of respect for the Telugu audience. It is his responsibility to maintain it. Is it our intention to start making such inferior stories into films, to lose that honour.[4] Griddaluru Gopalrao of the same newspaper wrote that Toorpu Velle Railu is a moral development for the progress of the nation, a comprehensive review for a democratic system, a crow for money, for innovation, a novel poem that probes and touches the hearts of the poor and gives light to the poor with lively poetry.[9]
