== Critical reception ==
A critic from ''[[Rediff.com]]'' gave the film a two out of five stars stating that "Chandra Siddhartha has chosen a topical theme but fails in his depiction of it as the treatment is quite bland. Quite a disappointment, considering the good cast".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/feb/25ssis.htm|title=Idi Sangathi is disappointing|author=Radhika Rajamani|date=25 February 2008|website=Rediff|access-date=22 September 2019|archive-date=26 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220326041427/https://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/feb/25ssis.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from ''Full Hyderabad'' wrote that "''Idi Sangathi'' is one of those films that is unclear on whether to be full-fledged parallel cinema or proper commercial stuff. Sometimes it appears to want to be some kind of ''[[Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro]]'', but all it can do is get in the same sentence of a review as that film".<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/idi-sangathi/telugu/idi-sangathi-movie-reviews-1538-2.html |title=Idi Sangathi Review|access-date=4 July 2023 |archive-date=4 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230704062433/https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/idi-sangathi/telugu/idi-sangathi-movie-reviews-1538-2.html |url-status=live|website=fullhyd.com }}</ref>
