Reception

The Times of India’s Paul Nicodemus gave this film 3.5 stars out of 5 stars and commented… “Daaku Maharaaj is a high-octane entertainer that thrives on Nandamuri Balakrishna’s commanding performance, stylish action sequences, and impressive technical values. While it doesn’t reinvent storytelling, it offers an engaging cinematic experience and a treat for Balakrishna’s fans”.

India Today’s Janani K gave this film 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and wrote… “Bobby Kolli tried his best to cover up with the proceedings in the film, but it failed after a while. Daaku Maharaaj is a decent template entertainer with classic Balayya elements to keep you hooked”.
