Reception[]

Y. Sunitha Chowdhary of The Hindu appreciated Vishnu's performance but opined the film was let down by a weak story. "With no chemistry between the lead pair, hardly any emotional heft, a comedy that falls flat and cinematography that doesn’t impress, the film is not engaging," Chowdhary added.[2] Sakshi critic Anji Shetty who rated the film 2/5 stars also felt the same. Shetty criticized the film's poor direction and routine storyline.[6]Siddartha Toleti of Mirchi9 rated the film 1.75 stars of 5 and criticised the Direction, Screenplay, Weak Story, Overdramatic and Logic less scenes Sequences but praised Some Emotional Moments. "Clueless Direction" Toleti added. [7]

A reviewer from Eenadu compared the film with warrior Arjuna who was trapped in Padmavyuha owing to its weak screenplay and lackluster climax.[8] 123telugu.com concluded its review by stating "On the whole, Arjuna Phalguna is a silly and over-the-top crime drama that fails to entertain. The slow pace and logic less narration make this film a boring watch. Except for Sree Vishnu’s sincere performance, this film has nothing much to offer."[9]
