'' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Lakshmi Sharma impresses you with the small role she plays as a lover. Doddanna, Sundararaj and Loknath give you a good dose of comic relief. Music by V Harikrishna and cinematography by Krishnakumar are okay". A critic from

wrote "In a bizarre twist of fate, the more he tries to end his life the more positive things happen to him. Doddanna has shown some fine acting skills, and Shobaraj is also convincing as a villain. However, Sadhu Kokila and Bullet Prakash failed to impress the audience". A critic from

wrote "A V Krishnakumar’s camerawork is adequate, complimenting Harikrishna’s music. The makers, determined to give a ‘dream debut as hero’ to Raghu ensure that none of the other actors, except the leading lady (!) are mentioned. Still, Achyuta, Bullet, Doddanna, Sadhu Kokila, Lokanath, Shobhraj and even Rachna Maurya shine in their roles. Rama Rama Raghurama may just turn out to be more than standard fare if the India-Ireland match falls flat of expectations". A critic from

wrote "Curiously, the director clubs one scene with another with a prop, not always connected to each other. Though it has nothing to do with the narrative, it hits you and brings out a laughter or two. Shobraj and ‘Uncle’ Loknath stand out with their performances. The music and cinematography are standard fare".
