== Release ==<br />
''Idlebrain'' gave the film two out of five stars and wrote that " Ironically, the director who wanted to discourage the depressed youth from attempting suicide finally succumbed to death by committing it on the release day of this film. On a whole, ''Malli Malli'' disappoints".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-mallimalli.html|title=Malli Malli review - Telugu cinema Review - Skanda & Kalyanee|website=www.idlebrain.com}}</ref><br />
