Reception
A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "After a point, it becomes clear that Bhamakalapam is simply going for cheap thrills, and that logical consistency is not its strong suit, or even a major concern".[5] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Bhamakalapam 2 shines because it is aware of its limitations. It understands that it is a low-stakes heist drama and within that framework, manages to keep us invested almost till the final segment".[6] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "On the whole, Bhamakalapam 2 provides entertainment in parts. Priyamani’s admirable performance and Sharanya Pradeep’s contributions are the film’s positives".[7]
