Release[edit]

Reception[edit]
Sravan Vanaparthy of The Times of India gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that "In Manchi Rojulochaie, director Maruthi focuses on societal issues and showcases how a parent would rather believe his gossip-mongering neighbours instead of his own child".[5] Y Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu opined that the film made a mawkish take on parenthood. She stated: "Though Maruthi chose a nice concept about living in fear, he seems to have lost the balance by creating excessive jokes around a sentiment."[6] Writing for The New Indian Express, Murali Krishna Ch wrote − "Maruthi deserves the credit for delivering straight yet sharp dialogues about life. On the whole, Manchi Rojulochaie is an enjoyable festive entertainer, elevated by its remarkable performances and sharp dialogues".[7] The Hans India rated the film 3 out of 5, praising the performances of lead actors and appreciating Maruthi's work.[8] Mukesh Manjunath of Film Companion wrote, "The film, directed by Maruthi, can't wait to crack jokes and then sprint to the emotional beats."[9]
