Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "At the end of it all, it feels like a crime that Rangabali had the potential to be better, but it just isn’t. It just lacks the ‘show’manship required of it".[4] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Naga Shaurya and Satya bring in occasional laughs as ‘Rangabali’ tries hard, in vain, to doff its hat to mass Telugu cinema".[5]
