== Reception ==
A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and opined that "''Evvarikee Cheppoddu'' is like a surprising, breath of fresh air in midst of all the mass masala. Debutant Basava Shankar selected a script that tells the same ol’ tale. But the way he handles it, exploring something like caste feeling with a humorous touch is what sets him apart".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/evvarikee-cheppoddu/movie-review/71575123.cms|title=Evvarikee Cheppoddu Movie Review {3/5}: A fresh love story!|work=The Times of India}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Mallemala Entertainments|123telugu]]'' said that "On the whole, ''Evvarikee Cheppoddu'' is a message-oriented love story that impresses in bits and pieces. The chemistry between the lead pair and a few romantic scenes related to them are showcased well".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/evvarikee-cheppoddu-telugu-movie-review.html|title=Evvarikee Cheppoddu Telugu Movie Review|date=8 October 2019}}</ref>
