'Film Companion' wrote that "But for all that it gets wrong, 'Madha' does more things right". 'The Times of India' gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and stated that "'Madha' is a well-written thriller, penned by Prashanth Sagar Atlluri and helmed by Vidya, majorly because the duo does not indulge in clichs specific to the genre.
