Reception
A critic from Nowrunning wrote that "The ribaldry that is needlessly included in the end of the movie "Gopi - Goda meda pilli" is something that is completely unnecessary and offends the viewer. This part takes away all the good work done in the entire movie". A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Gopi is just a low-budget flick with a few decent lines here and there - that doesn't mean you should watch it".
