Reception

Sri Sri was released with mixed reviews.[3] Indiaglitz rated the film with 2.5/5 stars stating that the film wasted an opportunity to present Krishna in an interesting revenge tale, but his fans will enjoy the veteran's performance.[4] while AP Herald mentioned the film as an average fare as its first half is really exciting with many revenge scenes while the second half turned out to be a complete disappointment. They appreciated the performance of Krishna mentioning as "Super Star Krishna fits in shoes of Law college professor perfectly and his dialogue delivery is still powerful and the team has used him to perfection".[5] 123telugu wrote that the film is passable as revenge drama and Krishna excelled in a tailor-made role for him.[6]
