Critical reception
The film opened to mostly negative reviews.
Idlebrain Jeevi in his review Stated that "the main drawbacks of the film are incompetent direction and bad villain characterization. When the villain’s character is not etched properly, the heroism does not get elevated. It may find some favor in B and C centers. On a whole, Drona is a badly shot film"
