Filmy Focus
"A promising emotional story that falls short due to weak execution and a dragged second half"
Also: "The first half is entertaining, thanks to Naresh and Tharun Bhascker’s comedy, while the second half feels slow and stretched"

Cinema Express
"Crazy Kalyanam is not crazy enough to keep the audience engaged. Badrappa Gajula chooses a good central idea, but the narration exposes his inexperience"
Also: "The six-minute single-take scene is another example of a sequence that feels forced"

The Hindu
"Crazy Kalyanam has its heart in the right place, capturing the changing dynamics of parenting and women’s autonomy, even if its technique does not always complement its intentions"
Also: "The filmmaker saves the best for the overlong yet impressive climax, tracing Parvathalu’s moral decline as he goes to any length to organise the wedding"

123telugu.com: 2.75/5
"On the whole, Crazy Kalyanam is an okayish family drama with some good laughs. The first half is decently handled, with comedy taking centre stage, but the second half loses its steam once the marriage episode kicks in"
Also: "The first half of Crazy Kalyanam is handled decently, with the comedy segments working well"

Telugu Bulletin: 2.75/5
"Overall, Crazy Kalyanam has a good central idea and benefits from strong performances by Naresh Vijayakrishna and Anupama Parameswaran. Tarun Bhaskar provides entertaining moments, while the emotional sequences in the final stretch offer some satisfaction"
Also: "Naresh Vijayakrishna delivers one of the film’s strongest performances. As a father who wants his daughters to lead secure and dignified lives, he brings considerable depth to the character"
