Critical reception

[edit]

The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "Watch this one if you’ve ever been in love, especially if you know the bittersweet pain of falling in love for the first time".[6] IndiaGlitz gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "A coming-of-age love story that caters to the tastes of multiplex audiences in good measure. If you like mature dramas that have an inkling of the ways of the human mind and life, you will love it! Look out for the neat performances and some stirring dialogues".[7] Hemanth Kumar from Firstpost.com, who gave it 3.25/5, said, "for a film which doesn’t really have much to say or say anything differently, it’s a surprise that Malli Raava tugs your heartstrings in the end".[8]

123Telugu.com gave it 3.25/5 and wrote "Malli Raava is a subtle love story which has some beautiful moments throughout."[9] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu was a bit more critical and wrote, "If only Malli Raava had been more interesting, it wouldn't have ended up as a reminder of Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu which addressed issues of growing up, decisions and romance across decades more effectively".[10] Great Andhra gave 2.75 out of 5 stars stating " Though this love story is not for all. Youngsters and guys with too-romantic a mind can enjoy it, but for others, this is not gripping enough".[11]
