Reception
Critical response
123Telugu gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Tollywood churns out big budget commercial entertainers once in every two weeks and half of them have the same story. But the films that click are narrated with hilarious entertainment and Subramanyam For Sale falls in this very same category. SFS will be a turning point in Sai Dharam Tej’s career and will put him into the big league. If you manage to ignore the routine and predictable story line, this film will entertain you from the word go and ends up as a paisa vasool entertainer."[6] Pranita Jonnalagedda of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "All the key elements that make a typical Tollywood flick are sprinkled in abundance. It's a film Sai Dharam Tej fans would want to watch."[7]
