Reception

Critical response

A reviewer of Idlebrain.com wrote "The director has kept everything aside to concentrate on entertainment aspect (just like in the movies of Ravi Teja). On a whole, Evaraina Epudaina falls short of what makes an average film, but still has some potential at box office in urbane centres due to the entertainment value and good packaging". A reviewer of Bangalore Mirror says "But, it is hard to believe how a lean and lanky Varun defeats his opponents with a single fisticuff! Debutante Tamil beauty Vimala Raman is okay while the rest of the starcast is average. There is nothing special about Mani Sharma's music". R. G. Vijayasarathy from Rediff.com wrote "Despite some negative points, Varun's enthusiasm and Vimala Raman's neat performance make Evaraina Epudaina worth watching".
