Nadadhur, wrote that "the director Venky Kudumula throws new light on
a bunch of stereotypes and age-old rivalry associated with a
Romeo-Juliet tale". Kudumula's next film as a director was Bheeshma
starring Nithiin and Rashmika Mandanna. The film marked his second
collaboration with Mandanna after Chalo. Bheeshma, similar to Chalo,
received positive reviews upon release. In a review of the film by The
Hindu, Sangeetha Devi Dundoo, the reviewer, stated that "Venky
Kudumula ties up the different threads to the story well". In a review

amazing is how Venky ties up all the threads by the end".
