Idlebrain Jeevi:
"Karthikeya is a different yet interesting film. Will be a hit for it's budget despite having a slow-paced narration."
Mahesh S Koneru:
"Done with the first half of Karthikeya.. Promising film.. If the second half holds up, Nikhil will have another winner on his hands. Sekhar Chandra 's music and background score for Karthikeya are impressive.. The guy deserves a big break. Second half could have been better.. But good film overall.. Nikhil has another hit on his hands.. Good debut by Chandoo Mondeti."
