Release
editThe film was released on 15 January 2021 coinciding with Sankranthi, alongside other Telugu films including Krack and Red.[8]
Reception
editIn his review for Firstpost, Hemanth Kumar rated the film 1 of 5 and termed it, "silly, outdated, and a nonsensical film."[9] The Hindu critic Sangeetha Devi wrote: "The writer has weaved multiple sub-plots to fill the two-and-a-half-hour slot. The story appears tailor-made for the front-benchers and one feels a sense of deja vu at the comedy."[10] The Times of India, which rated 2.5 stars out of five, stated: "A film with too many elements and very little substance, Alludu Adhurs is let down by its predictability"[11]
The film was later dubbed and released in Tamil as Maanbumigu Marumagan.[12]
