123Telugu rated 3.25/5 stated Overall, Current Theega starts on a promising note with some well designed entertainment during the first half.

It is targeted at the rural audience and has the potential to do well in B and C centers. Current Theega can be watched once for Manchu Manoj's performance, music and star cast.

Barring a few scenes here and there, which could have been chopped off at the editing table, Current Theega remains true to the original story and giving final verdict Not Shocking.[24]Tupaki rated 3/5 stated Current Theega is a colorful village entertainer. It will be a definite hit and the biggest grosser for Manoj. Will do well in all centers. Current Theega will be a hatrick hit for heroine Rakul Preet Singh after venkatadri express and loukyam. New golden leg of Telugu cinema.[25] AP Today rated 2.75/5 stated Low Voltage!.[26]Telugu Mirchi rated 2.5/5 stated The movie is an official remake of Tamil super hit ‘Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam’. The film makers have made few changes to the script to suit the Telugu nativity. However, ‘Current Theega’ is the biggest release in Manoj's career at the Box-office. Surely, Manoj's electrifying performance, Rakul Preet Singh's glamour, Sunny Leone's factor and high entertainment quotient forms the major positive aspects for the film.[27] AP Herald rated 2/5 stated An official remake of the Tamil film "Varutha Padatha Valibar Sangam", despite its isolated nature, Tamil version manages to provide concrete entertainment through its bright native treatment. The major letdown in the remake comes mainly from the script work and the direction. The script with more tongue-tied anxiety than sense, fails to capture the nature of the original and G Nageswara Reddy spineless guiding comes across as more concerned with perceived commercial viability rather than pure story-telling craft.[28] The film received positive feedback from fans as well as the audience.[29] HOURDOSE reviewed it by stating Overall "Current Theega" is a pakka mass masala entertainer with decent comedy, high voltage action scenes and nice music. Keeping the thin story line aside, you can surely give this film a shot for this weekend!!![30]
