 A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "On the whole, this one could have been a welcome summer film. But since it isn’t summer and it isn’t welcome, you should watch it only by mistake". Kishore of Nowrunning opined that "Seriously, some movies should be left unwatched. Roommates are the front-runner in that category of movies". A critic from Indiaglitz said that "Though the movement of the first half of the film is okay, but it failed to keep pace in the second half. The director maintained good suspense all through the film, besides maintaining good entertainment values".
