Sangeetha Devi writing for 'The Hindu', termed the film as an "indie-spirited venture" and an "appreciable first attempt". Prakash Pecheti of Telangana Today wrote that "'Raahu' is a honest attempt from newbie Subbu Vedula to tell a story of a different subject which was never touched by Telugu directors."

'The Times of India' rated the film 2 out of 5 stars. While appreciating the execution and production values, the review stated "Director Subbu should've worked a little more on the way he narrated the story because he squandered away a good opportunity. 'Raahu' is sincere and hard work that unfortunately goes in vain!"

Santosh Yamsani from 'Sakshi' wrote that though the director's attempt at a novel concept is appreciable, he was unable turn it into a strong screenplay.
