A critic from The Indian Express wrote that "Watching Prem Kumar is a colossal waste of time. Please avoid".[2] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "On the whole, Prem Kumar is a disappointing comedy drama. Santosh Sobhan’s performance and comedy scenes scattered here and there are the only positives of this movie. Prem Kumar has nothing much to entertain".[3] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Overall, Prem Kumar, the film, comes across as a lighthearted entertainer with untapped potential. Santosh Soban's commendable acting and sporadic humour in the film salvage the viewing experience, yet the film's shortcomings in writing and execution hinder it from achieving greatness".[4] A critic from OTTplay wrote that "On the whole, Prem Kumar has an interesting premise and Santosh Soban's performance holds the fort. But it is the weak first half the audience needs to sit through to enjoy the film".[5] A critic from The South First wrote that "Prem Kumar is a good try for debutant director Abhishek Maharshi. However, he has to tighten his laces if he has to bring some entertaining stuff to the silver screen".[6]
