Critical reception
[edit]Jeevi of Idlebrain rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "The screenplay has to be watertight in films where the story runs of ego issues and confusion. [...] Director couldn’t handle the second half well."[3] A critic from The Times of India gave it 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "Keeping pace with the movie is the music [...] Director Maruthi has a message to pass on to his viewers: help others. Don’t be driven by a selfish motive all the time. That makes it a meaningful movie."[4] A critic from Deccan Chronicle wrote, "Though the film’s concept is good, the narration is slow and predictable. The climax is also not interesting and the film ends abruptly. [...] On the whole, Kotha Janta is not very impressive and is good only in parts."[5]
