A critic from The News Minute wrote, "All in all, Edaina Jaragochu, the movie is such a bad mishmash that the title might as well apply to you, the audience".^[5] A critic from The Times of India rated the film 1.5/5 and wrote, "The first half of Edaina Jaragocchu seems a bit watchable, but the second half falls completely flat, making one just wait for the end titles to roll. Edaina Jaragocchu is a tiresome watch".^[6]
