Release

The ''Times of India'' gave this film two out of five stars saying that "''Utharavu Maharaja'' lacks the filmmaking panache that such a premise needs". On the contrary, ''News Today Net'' stated that "With a little more effort from the cast and scriptwriter, ''Utharavu Maharaja'' could have been even better. Nevertheless, the movie that starts off in a complicated structure, sets itself on track to end with its ideology conveyed well.". ''Cinema Express'' wrote "''Utharavu Maharaja'' turns out to be a huge disappointment thanks to the hyperbolic performances, unrealistic staging and poorly-written dialogues".
