Reception※
Prasad 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." Griddaluru Gopalrao of the same newspaper wrote that Toorpu Velle Railu is a moral devlopment 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."
