Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "Vooru Manadira is the film based on land movement, which is the driving factor behind naxalism in Telangana. This film is reflects the feelings of suppressed people in Telangana. But the projection of it is very raw".[3] Gudipoori Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "Narayanamurthy is subdued in the first half and shows his true spirits later. Sankar sends a chill through the spine with his voice and histrionic talent playing this brutal role. The folk tunes are many and the lyrical strength also proves its worth as the songs project the helplessness of oppressed people".[4] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "The dialogues by Narayana Murthy are quite persuasive as usual. Everyone seems to have done justice to his bit, with the exception of Narayana Murthy who goes overboard, naturally".[5]
