Release
Reception
Aditya Devulapally of The New Indian Express rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Overall, this buddy action film reminds us yet again that Allu Sirish has an eye for eye-grabbing subjects."[10] Sashidhar Adivi of Times Now gave it two out of five stars and wrote, "The audience have already seen films like Ted (English) and Teddy (Tamil film). Hence, director Sam Anton has to be extremely sure that his film Buddy is completely different and unique. But the film appears to have picked up a monotonous and repetitive template – none of the scenes fail to engage the audiences."[11]
