A reviewer of IndiaGlitz wrote that "Chandra Bose pens lines of Neeli Neeli Aakasam that are supple while being effective in being poetic. At one level, they are old-school lines that are a fit case for a melodramatic picturization. Sid Sriram, the playback singer of the season, is impressive and sublime. Sunitha's voice adds to the old-school vibes. Anup Rubens, for once, turns into a hesitant Gopi Sundar. Anup Rubens is never tired of Anup Rubens things."[15]
Reception
Critical reception
Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India stated that "30 Rojullo Preminchatam Ela has its heart in the right place but with too many gaps in its narrative, an outdated storyline and predictable plot, it doesn't have enough in it to draw people to the theatres amid the pandemic. Alas, this dish has been ruined by putting in too many ingredients that don't work well together."[16] Viswanath Vijayanagaram from The New Indian Express wrote that "The film is jarring on so many levels. A friendship song plays between the lead pair just a few minutes after they stopped quarrelling like incorrigible muppets. Viva Harsha, who is deliberately named Nagarjuna, keeps receiving racist 'jokes'. This film doesn't work even as a college campus story. The jokes are all very unfunny. TV show host-turned-actor Pradeep makes a damp squib of a debut, with his comic timing testing your patience. Amritha Aiyer has the potential to deliver a good performance, provided the script is good, which this one isn't. All told, the song Neeli Neeli Aakasam, which comes just a few minutes into the movie, is the film's only bright spot."
Another reviewer from The Hans India wrote that "The movie starts off well and the love story in the flashback scenes is showcased well. However, the director has failed to grab the attention in the present sequences. The major twist before the interval is not that interesting and even the second half is extremely boring and the sloppy narration will irritate the audience. Despite having some plus points like performances, music, and comedy, the forced emotions, slow-paced narration, and boring screenplay became the biggest minus points of the film. On the whole, '30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela' is just an average film and can be watched once."[17]
Box office
The film collected a gross collection of ₹4 crore on its first day.[18]
