Release and reception
Sathi Gani Rendu Ekaralu was premiered on Aha on 26 May 2023.[2]
Shanti Nanisetti of Telangana Today wrote that "It’s difficult to bracket ‘Sathi Gani Rendu Ekaralu’ in a single genre. The movie is one of those low-budget yet high on entertainment ones set in a Telangana village with its endearing dialect, so it is safe to call it an entertainer."[3] Writing for Deccan Chronicle Ajit Andhare opined that "Though the story seems to be complete after a hurried end, the title makes it clear that 'Sathi...' is just the first chapter which is considerably mundane and not a laugh riot as intended."[4] Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that "Director Abhinav Dhanda comes up with a decent Telugu dark comedy, surprisingly, without foul language. However, even though there are several moments in the film which tickle the funny bone, the film could have benefitted from more comedy and better music."[5] Another reviewer opined that "The movie offers a few laughs and has the earnest performance of Jagadeesh Prathap. Vennela Kishore shines well, but the screenplay doesn’t let the film reach the next level."[6]
