The interval episodes elevate the film well. Though the narration is completely predictable, Venky Mama has its moments and the love stories have been narrated in an engaging manner. On the whole, the first half of Venky Mama looks decent. The second half of the film takes an unexpected turn. The crucial Kashmir episodes make no impact on screen and they look lengthy. The entertainment will not appeal to the audience and sounds forceful. The songs are ok on screen. Once again, it is Venky who carries the film on his shoulders.
