Reception
[edit]A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "Coming back after a long spell of silence the renowned producer with high respect Katragadda Prasad gives a magnificent movie for the masses especially the rural class of people. The sitting pretty girl Radhika gives a different role in ‘MM’ and she is already getting ‘Seeti’ in the cinema hall. Director Saiprakash a man armed with many credits has once again gives an attractive film".[5] A critic from indiainfo.com wrote that "Overall we have something different here. If not a total paisa vasool (transl. money's worth), MANE MAGALU is definitely a good timepass".[6]
