A critic from The Indian Express wrote that "Watching Prem Kumar is a colossal waste of time. Please avoid".[2] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Overall, Prem Kumar, the film, comes across as a lighthearted entertainer with untapped potential. Santosh Soban's commendable acting and sporadic humour in the film salvage the viewing experience, yet the film's shortcomings in writing and execution hinder it from achieving greatness".[3] A critic from OTTplay wrote that "On the whole, Prem Kumar has an interesting premise and Santosh Soban's performance holds the fort. But it is the weak first half the audience needs to sit through to enjoy the film".[4] Abhilasha Cherukuri of Cinema Express wrote "Prem Kumar is an interesting comedy of errors haemorrhaged by an overly dialogic screenplay."[5]
