== Release == The film was theatrically released on 11 February 2022 coinciding with the release of [[Khiladi (2022 film)|''Khiladi'']].<ref name=":0" />
== Reception == The film received negative reviews from critics. ''[[Mallemala Entertainments|123 Telugu]]'' gave the film a rating of 2.75/5 and wrote "'Sehari' is a passable rom-com that has a good first half and climax. The situational comedy works out well but the film is filled with lag in multiple scenes".<ref>{{cite web |title=Review : Sehari – Works to an extent |url=https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/sehari-telugu-movie-review.html |website=[[Mallemala Entertainments|123 Telugu]] |date=12 February 2022 |access-date=15 Feb 2022}}</ref> Thadhagath Pathi of [[The Times Of India|''The Times of India'']] gave the film 2.5/5 and wrote "'Sehari' is not a terrible rom-com, it's just not innovative or fresh either. If you're not bored of the same stories the film industry keeps churning out, this one's for you".<ref>{{cite web |title=Sehari Movie Review : Entertains in parts but lacks souls |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/sehari/movie-review/89504607.cms |work=[[The Times Of India]] |date=11 Feb 2022}}</ref>
''[[Pinkvilla]]'' gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 and wrote "Abhinav Gomatam, as Varun's friend, is deployed to do the needful. In a film whose writing is consistently silly, Prashanth R Vihari's music is the film's only meritorious aspect. 'Idhi Chala Bagundhile' is enjoyable. The cinematography is another asset".<ref>{{cite web |title=Sehari Review: A wafer-thin rom-com that lacks substance |url=https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/south/sehari-review-consistently-silly-film-over-indulges-immature-male-lead-1020956 |publisher=[[Pinkvilla]] |date=12 Feb 2022}}</ref> Prakash Pecheti of ''[[Telangana Today]]'' stated "Although 'Sehari' looks to be a tested trope in the very first glimpse, it has the screenplay that doesn't deviate your attention as an audience. Away from the regular cliched film conversation in a commercial cinema, director Gnanasagar tries to present the comedy in a more organic and subtle manner".<ref>{{cite web |title='Sehari', a madcap, silly fun ride |url=https://telanganatoday.com/sehari-a-madcap-silly-fun-ride |website=[[Telangana Today]] |date=11 February 2022 |access-date=15 Feb 2022}}</ref>
