== Reception ==
Gudipoodi Srihari of ''[[The Hindu]]'' opined that "The film goes haywire due to poor story and dialogues [...] A poor show unexpected of Krishna Reddy, where even the music too lacks the usual vigor and sense".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mrg-jabili.html|date=29 November 2001|title=Unlikely flick from SVK|work=The Hindu|last=Srihari|first=Gudipoodi|access-date=4 June 2022|archive-date=30 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220530064427/http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mrg-jabili.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Jeevi of ''[[Idlebrain.com]]'' said that "The story starts in the interval and drags till the climax. The only console in the film is occasional parallel comedy track by Brahmanandam. This film has no soul".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-jabili.html|title=Movie review - Jabili|date=29 November 2001|work=Idlebrain|access-date=4 June 2022|archive-date=30 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220530064430/http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-jabili.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[Telugucinema.com]]'' wrote "This simple and worn out story, despite the presence of the young and glamorous lead pair, lacks romantic touch. Even music doesn’t enhance the quality or the mood of the film that is expected with the title. The title has no relevance at all in the film".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telugucinema.com/movies/reviews/jabili.html|title=Jabili|last=CV|website=Telugu Cinema|access-date=13 September 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020606031557/http://www.telugucinema.com/movies/reviews/jabili.html|archive-date=6 June 2002}}</ref> ''Indiainfo'' wrote "Jabili is nothing but remix of all the Chitram, Nuvvekavali, Manasantha nuvves together. He took some of the scenes from these films and made a film of his own style, which is so boring. And at the end he leaves hackneyed message that youngsters should stand on their feet before loving. Who needs a message, man?".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.indiainfo.com/telugu/reviews/jabili.html|title=Jabili- Eclipsed with bore!|last=Jalapathi|website=Indiainfo|access-date=28 December 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020205103730/http://movies.indiainfo.com/telugu/reviews/jabili.html|archive-date=5 February 2002}}</ref>
