Reception

The Times of India gave a review of rating 3.5/5 stating "Your hero does not have a six-pack, nor does he make a grand entry. Your heroine is not the glamorous type and there's no skin show. There's no chasing of villains and beating them to pulp. There's no star cast to boast of, but "Ee Rojullo" is a film that you would enjoy with the comedy being seamlessly woven into the script."[2] greatandhra.com gave a review of rating 3.25/5 stating "This is the film that entertained the targeted audience perfectly.

You may watch it."[5] Rediff.com gave a review of rating 2/5 stating "Perhaps a youthful subject like Ee Rojullo may go down well with urban youngsters."[6] 123telugu.com gave a review of rating 3.25/5 stating "Ee Rojullo is a movie that will work big time with young adults and students.
