Critical reception

Radhika Rajamani from ''Rediff'', while reviewing the film Telugu film ''Nippu'', has given 2/5 stars and feels that the film is formulaic and hence, disappoints.
Producer YVS Chowdary and director Gunasekhar team up with Ravi Teja in Nippu (Fire). One knows what to expect from a Ravi Teja film, and Gunasekhar provides the usual commercial ingredients for the mass hero.
There's enough action, half-a-dozen songs (two of them shot in picturesque Turkey) and a middle-class family set-up.
However, instead of scorching the screen, the fire seems to have been extinguished by the director himself with his cold and lacklustre screenplay. Even Ravi Teja's presence doesn't seem to prop up the film that has a wafer-thin story.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack is composed by S. Thaman. Yuvan Shankar Raja was widely reported as the music director of ''Nippu'', however he was replaced by Thaman. The audio was successfully launched on 20 January 2012.
