Reception
[edit]A critic from The Hindu opined that "The director has nothing new to offer as the film unfolds on predictable lines".[2] A critic from Sify wrote that "Toli Choopulone is a letdown. This banal love story has not been worked out properly. Added to that the lead pair Kalyan Ram and Akansha are total disasters, as they cannot emote".[3] However, Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and praised Kalyan Ram's performance and the comedy.[4]
