The story explores whether Amrit will be able to bring his beloved into the family and build the life he dreams of.ETimes rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars. The review reads, "But in the second half, the film descends into a typical drama, with avoidable developments - a pregnancy (that seems biologically tricky!) and a slap, among other things - that work against the story. In fact, with the way the love stories are developed, the film feels like an anti-romance, with a bunch of men and women, who have a happy routine in their lives, finding themselves emotionally unsettled when they partner up. Madhuvidhu could have felt like a fresh romance, at a time when it's all thrillers and dark stories, but it gets bogged down with too much unnecessary drama."
