Reception

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu praised the performances of Rao Ramesh, Ankith Koyya, Indraja and Harsha Vardhan, while stating, "Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam is a simple story that delivers some humour in its portrayal of day-to-day frictions but is also overstretched". Appreciating Lakshman Karya's writing and performances of the lead cast, BH Harsh of The New Indian Express stated that "Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam is a pure comedy, where nothing can be taken seriously—and that can only be a good thing". Deccan Chronicle too opined the same and wrote, "Maruti Nagar Subramanyam is a refreshing take on family dramas to unwind".
