"Raghuvaran B.Tech is an interesting tale of a jobless youth with an underlying message. Even though the second half is a bit predictable and routine, Dhanush's thumping performance and a entertaining first half makes up for a decent watch this new year," according to 123telugu.

"The film has a good theme and is not in the regular masala mould. It surely offers some good moments, but don't expect anything superlative in this character-centric, largely unformulaic film," stated Indiaglitz.

Performances: "Dhanush is superb in the role of Raghuvaran. He is equally good in comedy and action scenes. He is the main pillar of this film and has done hundred percent justice to his character. Amala Paul is natural. Samuthirakani played the role of Dhanush's father and he is too good in it. Vivek is fine in the supporting role. Saranya is decent as the mother of protagonist," according to Gulte.

Technical Aspects: "Anirudh's songs and backgrounds score were impressive. However, Its the Telugu lyrics which were a big let down. Cinematography is pleasing. Dialogues were pretty good but gets repetitive at times. Editing could have been better in Second Half. Production Values are laudable," according to AP Today.

"The film's 1st half is entertaining and 2nd half is average. It is an youthful entertainer laced with decent romance & sentiment. The realistic subject is a big plus for the film as most of the present day youth can easily identify themselves with 'Raghuvaran'," OM of Andhraboxoffice.

Verdict: Decent Entertainer
