== Reception == A critic from ''Idlebrain.com'' rated the film one out of five stars and wrote that "This film is one of the best examples of bad direction and screenplay in the recent films I have seen. The screenplay of the film makes you squirm with grudge in your seat. The direction is very amateurish".<ref name="I2">{{Cite web|url=https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-neetocheppalani.html|title=Movie review - Neeto Cheppalani|date=8 March 2002|last=Jeevi|work=Idlebrain.com|access-date=30 December 2023|archive-date=26 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231226034654/https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-neetocheppalani.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from ''The Hindu'' wrote that "Akash has a lot of improving to do in acting. The dubbing is equally poor. Anupriya is better, but looks older than Akash. The talent of quite a few senior artistes like Giribabu, Brahmanandam, Sudhakar, M.S. Narayana is wasted. Music by Koti is like a remix of vintage tunes".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mrg-neetocheppalani.html|title=College Call|work=The Hindu|via=Idlebrain.com|last=Srihari|first=Gudipoodi|access-date=2023-12-30|archive-date=2023-12-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208081830/https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mrg-neetocheppalani.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from ''Full Hyderabad'' wrote that "Oh well, cheppalani vundaa?
