Critical reception
[edit]The film received negative reviews.[7]
Banda Kalyan of Samayam Telugu rated the film 2.5/5 stars.[8] Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave the film 2/5 stars and wrote, "First Day First Show, which opened to high expectations, feels like an overstretch of a thin storyline. It invokes nostalgia from the 90s and early Y2K and might appeal to hardcore Pawan Kalyan fans but otherwise fails to deliver."[9]
A critic from Telugucinema.com rated the film 1/5 and wrote, "First Day First Show begins bland and stays bland with no logic and rhyme. You cannot sit through it after the interval."[10] G. Gowtham of India Herald wrote, "The editing and writing are poor. What happens when a concept good for a short film is expanded into a full film lasting two hours? First Day First Show is the response."[11] A critic from Eenadu noted the film's stretchy narrative was a drawback, though it had some funny moments.[12]
