Release
A critic from 123Telugu wrote that "On the whole, Edaina Jaragochu is a horror crime-comedy which impresses in parts. Passable first half and good performances from Bobby Simha and Sashi Singh will keep the proceedings engaging. But on the flip side, the slow-paced lengthy second half makes it a below-average fare at the box office". But on OTT platforms, the audience critically well received.
