== Reception == A critic from ''The Times of India'' wrote that "''Chaari 111'' attempts to carve a niche within the spy comedy genre, offering a blend of espionage and humour. While it shines in performances and genre fusion, the film's comedic elements require a sharper edge to truly resonate with its audience".<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/chaari-111/movie-review/108139722.cms?from=mdr |title=Chaari 111 Movie Review : Vennela Kishore shines in spy comedy with missed potential |work=The Times of India |access-date=12 March 2024 |archive-date=12 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240312072447/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/chaari-111/movie-review/108139722.cms?from=mdr |url-status=live}}</ref> Abhilasha Cherukuri of ''Cinema Express'' wrote, "The film’s plot has more holes than a slice of cheese, and its treatment is no less odorous.

However, the film eventually falls flat as the story unfolds."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://telugucinema.com/reviews/chaari-111-review-not-quite-funny |title=Chaari 111 review: Not quite funny! |date=1 March 2024 |website=Telugucinema}}</ref>
