Reception

Gopika Is of Times of india gave a rating of two out of five, stating that "Perhaps due to how the screenplay was written, Neeraja turned out to be a person who was unrelatable to an extent with the way she handled the changes in her life and how all of a sudden, she recovers".[5] Anandu Suresh of Indian Express gave one and half stars out of five and stated that "The film suffers greatly due to a lack of comprehension regarding female emotions, particularly in scenes that necessitate a deeper understanding".[6]

Princy Alexander of Onmanorama wrote that "since 'Neeraja' is a little more emotional than the original, some of the scenes feel stretched. However, given that, all the actors did a fine job of elevating the film".[7]
