Reception

The Hindu gave a review and wrote that "Mindless fun can be entertaining when handled well. Joru is let down by incoherent writing and amateurish execution.". 123telugu gave a review rating of 2.5/5 and stated that "On the whole, ‘Joru’ ends up as just a below average entertainer. Too many characters and boring first half are the major drawbacks of the film. Sundeep Kishan and Raashi Khanna’s performance, climax, and Brahmi’s comedy are the only saving grace. You can only give this film a shot if you have absolutely nothing else to do". Times Of India gave 2/5 and stated that "At a run time of just around 140 minutes, the film makes you wonder if you have lost your sense of humour or if the joke is upon you".
