Reviews

The film received mixed reviews.[10] Supergoodmovies wrote:"Veera is for die hard mass fans who like to see severed limbs and arms flying all over the screen. Audience with sensibilities won’t like it a bit".[11] Indiaglitz wrote:"An absolutely predictable and irritatingly boring film".[12] 123telugu wrote:"Watch it, if you are a big fan of Ravi Teja".[13] Rediff wrote:"tedious watch".[14] Fullhyd wrote:"Veera, well-rounded in its lousiness, does neither. And yet, it audaciously traipses on, firm in its faith that this is the blockbuster you've been waiting for all summer".[15] sify wrote:"Veera is only fine in parts wherever Ravi Teja is shown in a mass dimension. There is unnecessary violence and the screenplay is hackneyed. Director Ramesh Varma was purely focusing to showcase Ravi Teja on the lines of a superhero but he failed miserably".[16] Cinegoer wrote:"Veera is an extremely ordinary or routine subject with the regular thrills, frills, love and romance bereft of reality, logic, nevertheless it has it's share of twists here and there that could take you by surprise".[17] Greatandhra wrote:"this is a film which gives a stale taste of boredom even to the masses".[18]
