Oneindia.in stated "Mogudu is a film that shows the values of a joint family, friendship, responsibility, love and affection etc. Krishna Vamsi succeeds partly in his mission. The trademark Krishna Vamsi style and magic is missing in the film. The movie may appeal family audience. Mogudu is a mixed bag and the fans of Krishna Vamsi will not be fully satisfied with it".[6] Rediff which gave a two stars said "Krishnavamsi's fascination for the family and for tradition is given full play in the film. The decibel levels are high: everyone is either shouting, screaming, or hitting everyone else. Dialogues are tacky and it's all just one big high-voltage melodrama. On the whole, a disappointing film.[7] NDTV said "The film is just an above average fare. It is a disappointment for the director's ardent fans who expect much from his films. However praised the lead performances, saying "Gopi Chand looks stylish in his designer wear. He is good in action sequences and shows his talent as a performer. But, it is Rajendra Prasad who steals the show with his stellar performance".[8]
venkat from Greatandhra rated two and half stars commented "The primary reason for the film to suffer is a weak script. The idea of coming up with the value of marriage, importance of family is all good but there is a way one has to execute it and Krishna Vamsi has failed this time. At the box office, the film will find it hard to survive. The only consolation is Taapsee, only she can pull in some crowds".[9]
Deepa Garimella of fullhyd.com praised the film's screenplay and the casting, but said that the movie is a "disappointing, unfulfilling anecdote of a newly-wedded husband and a wife dealing with an unpleasant family fracas", rating it 5 out of 10.[10]
