Reception

Alluru Rahim of Zamin Ryot gave the film a positive review. He praised the plot's focus on exposing fraudulent gurus, the dialogues, and the debates between atheism and theism, but criticized the plot holes and music.^[2] K. Naresh Kumar, in Indian Cinema: Ebbs and Tides (1995), observed that recent southern films, including Aavesam, now tackle the topic of fraudulent godmen. He noted that the film graphically portrays recent shooting incidents at Puttaparthi, the abode of Sathya Sai Baba.^[3]

The canvas now seems to encompass even godmen, if recent southern films are to be taken into account. "Aavesam" a film of Dr. Rajasekhar, directed by Kodi Ramakrishna in Telugu is a rip off on fraudulent godmen and in this film the recent shooting incidents at Puttapurthi, the abode of Satya Sai Baba are graphically depicted.
