Reception
editJahnavi Reddy of The News Minute rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and called the film "A refurbished version of a coming-of-age romcom". Reddy added that "Although it is funny in parts, and feels very contemporary in a lot of ways, the film is after all, the story of a man-child, and feels like old wine in a new bottle".[5] The Hindu's Sangeetha Devi Dundoo wrote that "Maa Vintha… has these small moments of appreciable writing but in the larger picture, is neither entertaining nor does it make us empathise with the couple."[6] The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 and termed the film "a fresh and funny love story".[7]
A reviewer from Andhra Jyothi rated the film 2/5 and stated that "Director Aditya failed miserably to deliver the content emotionally".[8]
