Immediately, Raj Gopal proceeds to Veera Simha Reddy's aid, who gallantly encounters and single-handedly backfires their convoy at a milestone.

Jai carries his father's corpse to Rayalaseema and conducts the funeral between a great multitude of fanatics drowning under woe.

Following, Jai questions the underlying reason for Bhanumati's animosity when Siddappa, the true blue of Veera Simha Reddy, divulges the past.

In the interim, Bhanumati loved Siddhappa's son, Shekar, when Veera Simha Reddy heartfully approves and engages them.

Spotting it, fierce Bhanumati turns into a foe to his brother, claiming all his love & affection as a hoax and pledges to seek vengeance.

Grief-stricken Veera Simha Reddy decides to renounce all comforts as a penalty and requests Meenakshi to quit his life, which she does, hiding the secret of her pregnancy.

[28] Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Veera Simha Reddy is Balakrishna’s film through-and-through.

Whenever the man comes on-screen donned is black is when you feel like paying attention, his cakey makeup and lukewarm performance while playing the other character takes away from it.

[30] Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times wrote "The film thrives on violence and some exquisitely shot action sequences, which are a treat to watch.

As the central character Veera Simha Reddy, Balakrishna holds the film together and its quite literally a one-man show.

"[31] Bhuvanesh Chandar of The Hindu wrote "Violent scenes that bank on shock value, powerful antagonists, and an intriguing larger narrative worked well to complement the slow-motion chest-thumping moments.

"[32] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express rated the film 0.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The troubling part of Veera Simha Reddy, by that token most of Balakrishna's movies, is that it argues its okay to kill to solve a problem".
