Reception
Critical response
A critic from 'The Times of India' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Aindrita Rai steals the show with her brilliant performance, especially in the emotional sequences. Ajay Rao has done justice to his role. Tara impresses. Sharan keeps up his good humour. M R Seenu's cinematography is good". A critic fromThe New Indian Express wrote "Neel's music has some good tunes, including Hege helali nanna manasina maathu and Naanirali nannavalu. Manasina Maathu is a feel-good film with neat performances. But its dragging moments take the film several notches down. But you can watch it once". A critic fromDeccan Herald wrote "The movie benefits from the steady direction of Anantharaju, though the storyline gets tad predictable. However, it is redeemed by fresh performances by Ajay and Aindrita Ray and debutante Lohith. Neeladris music is catchy. A remake of Srikanth-Bhoomika starrer Roja Koottam, it turns out to be sporadically entertaining". Sunayana Suresh fromDNA wrote "Ajay and Aindrita have really well-etched characters, which they bring alive magically. The first half has three forced songs, which couldve have been done away with easily. But for that, this is the kind of film that makes for family viewing. Watch it this weekend, it can be worth your whil... ".
