A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Dongalunnaru Jagratha is an interesting attempt in the genre of survival mystery" and added that the film was "thought-provoking".[3] A critic from 123Telugu said that "On the whole, Dongallunaru Jagartta has a decent premise but is marred by lack of gripping thrills and moving emotions".[4][5]
