Reception
editCalling it a "lost opportunity" due to unconventional premise with too many subplots, The Hindu was positive of performances of the lead cast (particularly Vennela Kishore).[18] Echoing the same, Times Now rated it 2.5 out of 5 and wrote "to a certain extent, the narrative emerges as a compelling exploration of human frailty and resilience, challenging societal norms".[19] Telugucinema.com also gave the same rating and stated, "Brahma Anandam has impressive premise and tackles an intriguing subject, and the film’s midsection is engaging, but its helter-skelter screenplay and rushed climax have diminished the overall experience".[20]
