## Reception

[edit]

Jeevi of Idlebrain rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "Plus points are fresh taking, fun moments and male leads. On the flipside, second half is sluggish. [...] On a whole, Ala Ela is a kind of film which falls short of being a good film, but makes an okay watch!"[3] Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "There’s so much to like about the film, especially the sharp writing, bromance, pleasant music. And it makes you question if the film could have been much more than what it aims for, but there’s no denying that it strikes the right chords for most part."[1] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote, "What this film lacks is pace and requires some patience. Watch this film for some laugh aloud moments."[4]
