Reception

Suhas Sistu of The Hans India rated the film three and one-fourth out of five stars and wrote that "The film successfully balances drama, emotions, and a subtle love story, which unfolds naturally without taking away from the serious themes. The comic relief, though minimal, feels organic and helps lighten the mood at appropriate times."[26] Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave it three out of five stars and wrote, "Maa Nanna Superhero is a decent family drama that touches on universal themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption. While it excels in its performances and certain emotional moments, it is held back by a predictable plot and inconsistent pacing. Viewers seeking a heartwarming story may find it enjoyable."[27]

BH Harsh of The New Indian Express wrote that "Abhilash Reddy Kankara clearly has the flair for capturing moments that convey the poignance of his themes. If only he also had a script that was more coherent, with more of these moments woven in, moments that say a lot without saying much."[28] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote that "Sudheer Babu and Saichand's performances anchor Maa Nanna Superhero, an uneven relationship drama that scores in a few segments".[29]

Swaroop Kodur of The Hollywood Reporter India wrote that "Though slightly overripe, Abhilash Kankara's film works because it unfolds like an affectionate relationship procedural that views a complicated scenario through a new lens."[30] Sashidhar Adivi of Times Now gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and opined that "Maa Nanna Superhero is a well-made film with a decent story and good performances. However, the writing looks far from complete. For some reason, the film leaves you wanting for more in terms of deft screenplay and better execution."[31]
