Reception
[edit]Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu gave the film a negative review and opined that "IT HAS been proved time and again that a full-length comedy sans sensible storyline leads nowhere, as is the case with Aaduthoo.. Paaduthoo...".[4] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com said that " Comedy alone cannot save a film when there is no grip on the screenplay. Film is little boring, at times".[5] A critic from Sify wrote that "The film is a full-length comedy and Srikanth and Sunil are average. Newcomer Gayatri Jeyaram has done a good job and she is very confident in the role of Vasanthi. The music of Chakri is average."[6] Arpan Panicker of Full Hyderabad opined that "But carried away by the enthu, he [Devi Prasad] loses track of what he was trying to do in the first place, and the result makes the viewer introspect for traces of masochism".[7]
Box office
[edit]The film had an average box office run and was Srikanth's second consecutive box office hit after O Chinadana (2002).[8][9][10][11]
