According to Umair Sandhu's article, Jr. NTR gives an outstanding performance, displaying a brilliant act that captivates throughout and lends the picture much-needed punch.

He gives the picture 3.5 out of 5 stars, citing its entertaining elements and outstanding performances as major pulls for spectators.

First Review #Devara : #JrNTR is exceptional, pitches a sterling act that doesn’t miss a beat. He gives film the much-needed power. #SaifAliKhan is fantastic. #JanhviKapoor is irritating. Devara is a Paisa Vasool entertainer that’s meant for the big screen.
