Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote "Satyadev once again hit it out of the park when it comes to getting under the skin of his characters. The actor aces his role like a breeze and evokes the right emotions among the viewers".[12] 123Telugu rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and wrote, "On the whole, Godse is a half-baked hostage drama that has a decent first half. The second half is dull and the emotional aspect does not click. In all this, what keeps you going is Satyadev’s sincere and intense performance".[13]
Y. Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu opined that the film "has an interesting story of police-politicians nexus, but fails to engage".[4] Asianet Telugu gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and felt that the film is lacks freshness and similar to Prathinidhi.[14]
