Reception.
Critical response.
Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of "The Hindu" wrote, "Changure Bangaru Raja begins well but squanders its potential to be a quirky, madcap crime comedy. The performances and some of the humour save the day". A reviewer of "Eenadu" wrote, "Goltinissi in the role of Constable Mangaratnam, Vityashi as Satya's love interest and Esther in the role of Ravibabu's mind-stealing boon. Ajay's role as Esse lacks strength. Among the technical categories, the camera department gets good marks". Srivathsan Nadadhur from "OTT Play" said, "Changure Bangaru Raja is a largely impressive, partly inconsistent crime comedy with superb humour and fine performances. Debutant Satish Varma displays a good flair for comedy, writes quirky characters and establishes the rural backdrop with earnestness. With a better final act, it would’ve been a wholly fulfilling experience". Saket Reddy Eleti from "ABP Majha" wrote, "Overall... there is no need to go to the theaters for some comedy scenes. You can watch it when it comes to OTT".
