Reception
Bollywood Hungama wrote "On the whole, AAMDANI ATTHANNI KHARCHA RUPAIYA is an ordinary fare with average prospects". Rediff wrote "director Raghavendra Rao wanted to drive a social message across but he seems to have confused the genres. He changes track from comedy to hysteria in the blink of an eyelid. And you are left pretty clueless". The Hindu wrote ""Aamdani....", like many other Padmalaya ventures, is directed by K. Raghavendra Rao.After seeing his latest venture here, how one wishes K. Raghavendra Rao, had saved us the spectacle of an outrageously retrograde film. In his endeavour to raise a few good laughs about middle-class couples facing an increasingly uphill struggle to make ends meet, he exposes us all to ridicule."
