Reception


A critic from 123telugu wrote that "In conclusion, Nene Naa struggles as a silly, outdated and boring horror thriller. While Regina Cassandra’s performance is okay, much more is needed to redeem the film’s shortcomings". A critic from The South First wrote that "Except for Vennela Kishore’s humour, this horror thriller is unbearable. The way the reincarnation theme is handled is not so convincing. The backstory of Damayanthi isn’t so exciting".
