Reception[]

The film received moderate reviews from critic. Deccan Chronicle wrote "The director’s aim is good, but the way the story has been depicted on screen is not convincing. Maybe he has targeted only college students and youth and not kept family audiences in mind. That’s why unlike his earlier films, ‘Oka Criminal Prema Katha’ fails to make an impact. The publicity posters and his earlier films may bring in college youth, but this film is definitely not for all."[3] Oneindia Entertainment gave a review stating "Oka Criminal Prema Katha does not offer any direct message to the audience. Indirectly, the movie shows that the parents, who are the first role models to their children, are responsible for the kind of behavior the youth have. Though the director has tried out something different, but he has failed to give a convincing picture on screen."[4] 123telugu.com gave a review stating "On the whole, Oka Criminal Prema Katha sends out the intended message very loud and clear. The way today’s women and youth face problems in the society has been showcased nicely. But the way it has been narrated in a non commercial format, and with a bit of harsh reality will not be liked by one and all" and rated the film 2.5/5.[5] IndiaGlitz gave a review stating "Technically, it’s quite mediocre but the narration manages to make a mark. At a time when even supposedly pro-women films parade profanity and obscenity under the pretext of exposing the vulgarity and mean-mindedness of lecherous men, this film is praiseworthy in that bold scenes have a meaningful presence. A film that works for its honesty and creative story-telling" and rated the film 2/5.[6]
