Reception
A critic from Deccan Herald opined that "But unlike other streotyped. mushy romances and action flicks, Snehitulu, which has its anchor in human relationships, emerges a winner, for it is shot imaginatively".[2] A critic from Andhra Today wrote that "Although a routine story, Posani Krishna Murali lends it variety in its final twist. Good performances by the star cast combined with the director's prowess quite appeal to the audience".[3]
Box office
The film ran for a hundred days in Andhra Pradesh.[2][4]
