Release and reception

The film was initially scheduled to release on 26 January 2018 but was postponed to 16 February 2018.[3][4]

Hemant Kumar of the Firstpost rated the film 2 out of 5. " the story of Manasuku Nachindhi does have some merit, but it just does not get the cinematic treatment it deserves", Kumar wrote.[5] The Hindu's Srivathsan Nadadhur called the film "old wine in a new bottle." Nadadhur added that "Manasuku Nachindi tries to convey a lot, but all the cushioning that director Manjula does to cover up a stale story comes a cropper in a 150-minute preachy marathon."[6]

Suhas Yellapantula writing for The Times of India rated the film two stars out of five and "Manjula Ghattamaneni makes the film with all the right intentions but falters in its execution." On performances, Yellapantula opined that "Amyra Dastur is the only bright spark in this film, who lights up the screen with a wonderful performance. Sundeep, like the audience, seems confused. Tridha looks good but is overall unconvincing, while Nasser is wasted in a poorly written role."[7]
