Reception
Critical response
R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "Masti is a better offering which may be remembered for Upendra's performance and high technical values".[2] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "The film marks a new innings in Upendra's career. While OM remains one of his best directed films, Masti certainly can be termed as one of his best performances".[3]
