Reception
Idlebrain wrote "First half of the film is adequate. Second half is pretty slow. Climax is very soft. Rasool's work is good in parts. Ravi Teja's typical dialogue delivery and casual one-liners do make us like his character immensely. On a whole, Bhageeratha makes an average fare".[6] Full Hyderabad wrote "You will watch this flick only for the dialect, the dialogues, and Ravi Teja's rasping-crude and funny delivery of these. Like the cherry you pick off a boring dessert, he sticks out appealingly, but alone. The rest of the movie, quite simply, is boring. And yes - gratuitously long".[7]
