'' wrote that "Except for one or two very humorous moments, ‘Ramachari’ ends up being quite a disappointment. Issues with the script and bad screenplay spoil the viewing experience". A critic from ''Full Hyderabad'' wrote that "The film's production values are extremely low. Its titles credit the music of the film to Manisarma, but the tunes sound more like they've been scored by a distant cousin of Manisarma's driver". A critic from ''India Herald'' called the film an "Outdated comedy film of summer".
