Reception

Hemanth Kumar of '' Firstpost'' wrote that "On the whole, ''Pitta Kathalu'' is a mixed bag and not all short stories find their rhythm and clarity of thought to say what they want to. But it’s also a step in the right direction in many ways. ''Pitta Kathalu'' exists in a Telugu cinematic universe and in this world, women are largely in control of their own lives and more than anything, they hate to be mansplained. Thank God, they aren’t treated like deities with pure thoughts and leading pious lives. Their shades of grey is what adds colour to ''Pitta Kathalu.''" and gave 3 out of 5 stars. Neeshita Nyayapati of '' The Times of India'' wrote about the film that "While one has to search hard to find imperfection in Tharun’s rural tale, Nandini, Nag Ashwin and Sankalp’s urban stories in ''Pitta Kathalu'' are not without flaws. Predictability haunts all the stories to a certain extent, but what matters is how the directors manage to pull it off. It is definitely refreshing to see Telugu cinema tell tales of real, damaged relationships (and women) on screen without judgement. Give this one a try this weekend!" Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "Two films work. Two don’t. And the standout is Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam’s ‘Ramula’, which takes big risks with form."
