Reception
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film one out of five and wrote that "This film is a third grade film that is made with a poor taste. Upendra is wasted in this role of Sri. Most of the scenes of the film are obscene and vulgar. Woman can never watch this film in public". Jeevi also wonder why the censor authorities passed some graphic scenes.[3] Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "Only Upendra and Priyanka dominate the drama. The rest simply fade away in this flimsy drama".[4] Andhra Today wrote "The movie seems to have been made for a specific section of the audience and hence the cheap dialogue and titillation with scenes to match them and undue exposure attracting an 'A' certification. Nageswara Rao has repeated his past record and once again disappoints his audience with this movie with little substance and style. Upendra as college student looks awkward".[5] Telugu Cinema wrote "All in all, Raa is a film that should be definitely given a miss, if for no other reason than to at least to save yourself some sick moments".[6]
