Reception[edit]

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "the director deserves a pat on the back for attempting a novel subject, and a socially relevant theme even if he only managed to partially pull it off".[8] A critic from Rediff.com said that "Rushi has a meaningful theme. The film should be appreciated for tackling a different subject and a significant theme".[9] A critic from 123telugu opined that "Rushi is a very different movie when compared to the regular formula movies that come out of industry. It is an honest and mature portrayal of a young doctor’s crusade against the system for the sake of his patient".[10]
