Critical reception

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." 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." 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."
