== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[Sify]]'' opined that "Comedian M.S.Narayana has launched his son Vikram in this film that has nothing new, supported by an inane story and screenplay".<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 July 2004 |title=Koduku |url=https://www.sify.com/movies/koduku-review-telugu-pclv4gjjefacb.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220603042458/https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ew-t_pC5rJ0J:https://www.sify.com/movies/koduku-review-telugu-pclv4gjjefacb.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us |archive-date=3 June 2022 |access-date=8 August 2022 |website=[[Sify]]}}</ref> Jeevi of ''[[Idlebrain.com]]'' rated the film one out of five and wrote that "By launching his own son as hero, MS Narayana did more harm to Vikram than any help".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jeevi |date=25 June 2004 |title=Movie review&nbsp;– Koduku |url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-koduku.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180215094003/http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-koduku.html |archive-date=15 February 2018 |access-date=8 August 2022 |website=[[Idlebrain.com]]}}</ref> ''Telugu Cinema'' wrote "M.S.Narayana who failed to become a writer this time tries to become a director and handled story, screenplay, dialogues and direction and he failed miserably in all the departments. He better stick to the routine comedy on the screen. The film is torture to watch".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telugucinema.com/c/movies/kodukureview.shtml|title=Koduku|website=Telugu Cinema|access-date=23 September 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040805071708/http://www.telugucinema.com/c/movies/kodukureview.shtml|archive-date=5 August 2004}}</ref><br />
