Reception

Critical reception

B. H. Harsh of The New Indian Express praised the performances of Allari Naresh, Hari Teja, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini, as well as the music and cinematography, but criticized the screenplay for its inability to establish a convincing foundation for the conflicts and its lack of depth in portraying the world around Malli. Srivathsan Nadadhur of The Hindu wrote, "Bachchala Malli makes for a tedious watch, not even providing the comfort of a satisfactory resolution. Like Malli, you feel exhausted and hopeless."
