Reception
A critic from Sify wrote that "There are certain discrepancies and loopholes in the script though. While there is no single shot of parents loving their kids, the love for parents shown by the children looks a little strange. However, on the whole the film is quite interesting and for those of the audience who are into religious films, Devulu will be a treat". Andhra Today wrote "With children as main characters, the movie seems to be meant for children. But since kids look for entertainment, this movie may not hold much of an appeal for them. As for the adults, the story is not strong enough nor is the devotional fervor. Gods making dramatic appearance as humans seems unreal. Not much requires to be said about acting. Apart from the kids, most others make fleeting appearances in the scenes".
