== Reception ==
''Love Mouli'' received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its moments of romance but criticism for its slow pace.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

Paul Nicodemus of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "''Love Mouli'' is more than just a romantic drama; it is an evocative and visual journey that leaves an impression. While the film's bold narrative and unorthodox treatment may not appeal to everyone, those who appreciate the blend of romance with deeper existential themes will find this film rewarding."<ref>{{cite news |title=Love Mouli Movie Review: A bold blend of art, adventure, and existential quest |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/love-mouli/amp_movie_review/110853388.cms |work=timesofindia.indiatimes.com |date=9 June 2024 |access-date=29 August 2024 |archive-date=29 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240829111909/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/love-mouli/amp_movie_review/110853388.cms |url-status=live }}</ref>
