Critical reception

• Telugumirchi wrote:"Director Sajid’s inexperience is evident. It’s very difficult to deal stories like this. Scenes have to be written and narrated very carefully. Movie would have been better if director had taken care in that respect. Many scenes create laughs but would have been better if director was strong on story. As a whole ‘pustakamlo konni pageelu missing’ is for fun viewing".^[2]
• Indiaglitz wrote:"On the face of it, this film is a faithful remake of the Tamil original. A little more imagination could have made it a memorable film. Watch it for the neat humour"^[3]
• Times of India wrote:"It's funny, but only in pieces, so a cheerful disposition might come in very handy to survive the not-so-funny parts, which is what most of the movie is filled with"^[4]
• Deccan Chronicle wrote:"In fact, there is nothing more to the film than its trailer and promos. Too many small plots and repetitive dialogues put you off, So, give this film a miss".^[5]
• 123Telugu wrote:"‘Pusthakam lo Konni Pagelu Missing’ falls just short. Its appeal at the Box Office will be quite limited. It might cater to people who like to watch unconventional films. Some boring moments and the absence of strong performers in the cast work against the film".^[6]
• Telugucinema wrote:"An off-beat jolly comedy film. It truly has different plot and is very engrossing till the end though a little long. Watch it for its novel concept".^[7]
