Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film two and one-fourth out of five and stated that "If made well, Kedi could have become real class movie and if it’s not then the result could be catastrophic. The debutant director couldn’t handle the script well and it becomes an uninteresting fare. On a whole, Kedi fails to keep audiences interested in the movie." Radhika Rajamani of Rediff.com gave the film two out of five stars and wrote, "There aren't many twists in the story though the screenplay moves back and forth in time, which makes it a bit perplexing as we constantly have to figure out what's happening. The loopholes in the script seem glaring too."
