Reception[edit]

The Indian Express rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Krishnamma has its moments, but it is nothing we haven’t seen on the Telugu screen. It may appeal to viewers who like rural, small-town emotional dramas".[18] The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "Krishnamma stands out for its strong character dynamics and solid performances. It may tread familiar ground, but it does so with enough competence and emotional depth to make it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre".[19] 123telugu rated the film two-and-three-quarters out of five and wrote that "Krishnamma offers a revenge drama that captures attention only to a certain extent, thanks to Satyadev’s decent performance. However, the film is let down by its dull screenplay and emotional resonance".[20]

Cinema Express rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "There are many such moments in Krishnamma, where debutant writer-director VV Gopala Krishna convinces us that his heart is in the right place. Alas, the film falls prey to its predictability and lack of efficient craftsmanship".[21] A critic from Eenadu wrote that "There is no novelty in the story chosen by director Gopalakrishna. Otherwise, the way it is shown in a raw, rustic way is good".[22] Times Now News wrote that "Krishnamma is a revenge drama that doesn't break new ground but it is watchable for its emotional pay-offs only in the second half".[23] Telugucinema.com rated the film two-and-three-quarters out of five and wrote that "Overall, the first half of the doesn’t work much, but the later half holds interest quite well".[24]
