Popular reviewing website Idlebrain rated 4.5 out ofstating When director and hero have latest hits behind their back, the comparison is inevitable. This film is definitely better than Santosham Nagarjunas earlier film. Manmadhudu is as good as Nuvvu Naaku Nachav Vijaya Bhaskars earlier film. First half of the film is extremely entertaining total comedy flashback romance. And second half comedy story is even better than first half. 95 of the scenes in the film are comedy dialogues. There are few sentiment scenes. But these very few sentiment scenes are bound to leave impact on you. Nagarjuna dominated the show and won accolades from audiences. Its a must recommended hilarious film for all Telugu film lovers. Another popular reviewing website Si
