04Reception

Radhika Rajmani of Rediff.com rated the film 2+12 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Uday Shankar takes up a stereotypical storyline in Baladoor and manages to entertain with a satisfactory screenplay in a formulaic way with a mix of action, comedy and romance." Zamin Ryot's Alluru Rahim in criticized the film's "lackluster screenplay" and added that the director did not handle sentiment properly. In an other negative review, Y. Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu stated, "Baladoor is an average film, as the banner doesn’t offer nothing new in narration."
