Reception
Sravan Vanaparthy of The Times of India gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that "In Manchi Rojulochaie, director Maruthi focuses on societal issues and showcases how a parent would rather believe his gossip-mongering neighbours instead of his own child". Y Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu opined that the film made a mawkish take on parenthood. She stated: "Though Maruthi chose a nice concept about living in fear, he seems to have lost the balance by creating excessive jokes around a sentiment." Writing for The New Indian Express, Murali Krishna Ch wrote − "Maruthi deserves the credit for delivering straight yet sharp dialogues about life. On the whole, Manchi Rojulochaie is an enjoyable festive entertainer, elevated by its remarkable performances and sharp dialogues". The Hans India rated the film 3 out of 5, praising the performances of lead actors and appreciating Maruthi's work. Mukesh Manjunath of Film Companion wrote, "The film, directed by Maruthi, can't wait to crack jokes and then sprint to the emotional beats."
