Reception

The movie opened to negative reviews. Haricharan Pudupeddi of ''DNA India'' gave a review stating "''Vennela '' is loathsome with the senseless 'bathroom humour' that runs throughout the film. ''Vennela '' is one of the worst comedy films of recent times." IBN Live stated "After watching the trailers, most of us did not expect anything more from ''Vennela '' than low brow comedy. What came as a surprise was that the film did not pack a sensible story that might have made us sit through the haranguing second half." ''The Times Of India'' gave a review stating "The performances vary from loony to queer. It would be unfair to call it acting. What the characters just indulge in is absolute tom-foolery of degenerated variety. Chaitanya has a presence, but really has nothing much to do as does Monal. Let's just say, the other departments are in tune with the rest of the film." ''The Hindu'' gave a review stating "From the Kya Kool Hai Hum clan of film-making, it tries to be like ''American Pie'', but fails miserably. It's just a mindless excuse for a film, filling up the 70 mm. The film is not for those looking for cinema, but for those with raging hormones, looking for a cheap laugh." 123telugu.com gave a review stating "If you are a fan of the original ''Vennela'' and go in for this movie expecting something similar, you will be sorely disappointed. I was a fan of Vennela Kishore the actor. But I am not going to be a fan of Vennela Kishore the director." Way2movies gave a review stating "Except for few comedy parts, ''Vennela '' has nothing to offer."
