Reception
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...". 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". 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." 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".
Box office
The film had an average box office run and was Srikanth's second consecutive box office hit after 'O Chinadana' (2002).
