Reception
Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu opined that "The film goes haywire due to poor story and dialogues [...] A poor show unexpected of Krishna Reddy, where even the music too lacks the usual vigor and sense".[4] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com said that "The story starts in the interval and drags till the climax. The only console in the film is occasional parallel comedy track by Brahmanandam. This film has no soul".[5] Telugucinema.com wrote "This simple and worn out story, despite the presence of the young and glamorous lead pair, lacks romantic touch. Even music doesn’t enhance the quality or the mood of the film that is expected with the title. The title has no relevance at all in the film".[6] Indiainfo wrote "Jabili is nothing but remix of all the Chitram, Nuvvekavali, Manasantha nuvves together. He took some of the scenes from these films and made a film of his own style, which is so boring. And at the end he leaves hackneyed message that youngsters should stand on their feet before loving. Who needs a message, man?".[7]
