Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com opined that Sivaji gave "his career’s finest performance" and wrote that "On a whole, Taj Mahal is a decent movie with a message supporting parents".[9] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "Contrary to what ‘Tajmahal’ stands for, the film drives home the point that love should take a backseat, when you have to choose between love and parents".[10] Prakash Upadhya of Filmibeat said that "On the whole we should appreciate the efforts of the director for experimenting a message oriented movie".[11] A critic from Indiaglitz said that "Taj Mahal is entertaining as well as dark. Its subject matter doesn't promise too much of heart-wrenching moments, but it sure lives up to its own test and our ordinary expectations".[12]
