Critical reception

Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 saying that, "‘Chal Mohan Ranga’ is an aimless and time-pass ride, which starts out with promise and has a few highs – if only it had a better story and character development."[6] Priyanka Sundar of Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that the film "suffers throughout because of cliches and would have been unbearable if not for the comedy woven throughout."[7] Hemanth Kumar of Firstpost gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, "This was a soul-sucking experience and it's hard to recall any other ‘romantic drama’ in recent times which crushed the whole point of what makes a romantic film ‘romantic’ to pulp and that too in such a glorious manner."[8] Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 saying that, "First half is narrated in an entertaining way and the second half is saved by the climax. It's just a time pass film."[9]

Notes
  1. While the phrase is generally used while prodding someone encouragingly to move ahead, in this case, it may also mean to encourage to the protagonist Mogan Ranga to go ahead.[3]
