Reception
Sangeetha Devi Dundo of The Hindu stated that In Dushyanth Katikaneni's inaugural venture, "Ambajipeta Marriage Band, a compelling story unfolds, delving deep into the profound struggle for dignity. Suhas and Sharanya Pradeep take center stage, contributing remarkable performances that serve as the beating heart of this narrative. Katikaneni's directorial debut is marked by its unflinching portrayal of the human spirit's resilience, echoed vividly through the nuanced and powerful acting of Suhas and Sharanya Pradeep. Their on-screen chemistry not only captivates but also propels the film into a realm of authenticity that resonates with viewers. "Ambajipeta Marriage Band" emerges not only as a cinematic achievement but as a commentary on the unwavering pursuit of dignity, made all the more impactful through the stellar performances at its core."[13]
Ram Venkat Srikar from Film Companion stated that "Ambajipeta Marriage Band transforms its title into a symbol of protest and resilience, highlighting silenced voices in a narrative that challenges expectations."[14]
Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave the film 3.5/5 stars stated that "Ambajipeta Marriage Band adeptly blends authenticity and engaging storytelling with nuanced performances and a rich narrative that delves into societal issues. The film showcases technical excellence, sensitivity to caste dynamics, and a well-balanced mix of comedy and emotion, offering a compelling cinematic experience for those seeking insightful commentary."[15]
A Critic from 123telugu gave the film 3/5 stars and stated that "Ambajipeta Marriage Band is a compelling drama tackling a social issue with standout performances by Suhas, Saranya Pradeep, and Nithin Prasanna. The film, however, falters with a predictable storyline and a slow second-half pace. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a worthwhile watch for those seeking meaningful narratives this weekend." [16]
A Critic from Samayam Telugu gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote that "Suhas stole the show with his stellar performance, delivering laughs and tears. Nitin Prasanna nailed the villain's role, and Shivani and Jagdish shone in their parts. The film, reminiscent of Pushpa Keshava, featured well-balanced roles, creating a memorable cinematic experience."[17]
A critic from 10TV gave the film 3/5 stars and stated that "Ambajipet Marriage Band is an emotional revenge drama exploring love amidst caste and wealth dynamics, providing a fresh perspective on self-worth. The film's cinematic impact is heightened in theaters, offering a compelling and nuanced experience."[18]
