Production[]
In an interview to The Hindu, director Pawan Kumar told that he was approached by Aha through B. V. Nandini Reddy and said "I liked the story and how certain events repeat themselves on a time loop."[8]
Reception[]
Siby Jeyya of India Herald wrote that "Just watch this 'Kudi Yedamaithe' if you are a big fan of the thriller genre with unpredictable twists!"[9] Praising the story-line, Janani K of India Today stated that "Kudi Yedaimaithe is a great attempt at simplifying a high-concept sci-fi thriller. It could have been perfect if Pawan Kumar had worked on the pacing and the backstory."[10] The Times of India's Sravan Vanaparthy praised the screenplay and performances done by the lead actors.[11]
In contrast, a critic from Pinkvilla gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and added that "The narration doesn't give the audience a thorough grip on the turn of events" and praised the cinematography and music.[12]
