Reception Divya Shree of The Times of India said that "The film works as a breezy and fairly engaging rural romantic drama that banks more on simplicity, emotions, and village charm than novelty. Despite its predictable storyline and a few uneven moments, it manages to offer a pleasant one-time watch for audiences who enjoy feel-good relationship dramas rooted in family emotions. Suresh Kavirayani of the Cinema Express said that "Godari Gattupaina aims to be a breezy romantic entertainer but ends up feeling preachy and outdated. While a few moments and comedy scenes work, the film doesn't fully meet expectations."
