## Release

The Times of India gave the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "It's almost as if the writers of Where Is the Venkatalakshmi decided to sit at the table and create the worst characters to ever be made on-screen". New Indian Express gave the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Despite having some potential cast, director Kishore Kumaar has to take the blame for failing them miserably and not making this script work today". 123 Telugu wrote "On the whole, Where Is the Venkatalakshmi is a good script gone wrong kind of a film. Lakshmi Rai, comedians Madhu and Praveen try to save the film with their sincere efforts but the second half has nothing going its way and kills the interest of the audience."
