Rediff.com gave a review of rating 2/5 stating "Mr Pellikoduku has all the badly written additions woven into it. The music isn't appealing either. The Telugu version sadly fails and scores on no account."[8] Oneindia Entertainment gave a review of rating 2.5/5 stating "Overall, Mr Pellikoduku is a poor remake of Tanu Weds Manu, but you can still watch and enjoy it."[9] APHerald.com gave a review of rating 2/5 stating "With unimpressive technical team, poor efforts by lead pair Mr. Pellikoduku killed the natural & fresh feel which 'Tanu Weds Manu' had in it. It's better to buy 'Tanu Weds Manu' DVD than buying Mr. Pellikoduku ticket."[10]
