Reception[edit]
Karthik Pasupulate from The Times of India opined that "It just seems like a bunch of adolescents who just discovered the joys of non-vegetarian jokes came together to write the dialogues. The sense of humor is with the lack of a better word, just too "hormonal". There really isn't any story".[8] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com said that "On a whole, 3G Love is not a film: it's more like a debate and a case study with adult content thrown in".[3] Mahesh S. Koneru of 123telugu stated that "This film is an assault on the intelligence of viewers. Bad writing, bad acting and a non-existent plot leave a very bad taste in the mouth".[9] Shekhar Hooli of Filmibeat gave a positive review and said that "The movie 3G Love is a romance drama with lot of fun and comedy to lure the youth. The actors' performances, Venkatapathy's screenplay, dialogues and narration, Shekar Chandra's melodious music, Sai Sri Ram's cinematography and beautiful locales are the highlights of the movie.[10]
Box office[edit]
The film ran for 25 days.[11]
