Hindustan Times gave 'Maa Inti Bangaaram' 3.5/5 stars, urging filmmakers to cast Samantha Ruth Prabhu in more action films. The review read, "[Samantha] thrives in the action scenes, making you believe she'd take down everyone who stands in her way." It added that the film's attempt at a "twisted Romeo-Juliet dynamic" between lead characters felt "rushed" and didn't translate well.
