Reception

Griddaluru Gopalrao of Zamin Ryot praised director Veera Shankar's attempt to show a love triangle in a new approach and lauded his attempt as innovative, different, and unique. Sify wrote "The much publicised love story turned out to be recycled trash! [..] Prema Kosam just lacks that, thanks to the inept handling of a sensitive theme by director Veera Sankar. In a desperate attempt, the director depends on the sickness, `Amnesia` to bring a twist to the subject".
