Reception

The movie received negative reviews from critics. Greatandhra.com gave a review stating 1.5/5 and commented that " In terms of story and its narration, Joru bores you to the core. It tests your patience with insane comedy scenes which leave you totally clueless".^[3] 123telugu gave a review stating 2.5/5 and stated that "On the whole, ‘Joru’ ends up as just a below average entertainer. Too many characters and boring first half are the major drawbacks of the film. Sundeep Kishan and Raashi Khanna’s performance, climax, and Brahmi’s comedy are the only saving grace. You can only give this film a shot if you have absolutely nothing else to do".^[4] Times Of India gave 2/5 and stated that "At a run time of just around 140 minutes, the film makes you wonder if you have lost your sense of humour or if the joke is upon you".^[5]
