TOI: "Keerthy does a good job of essaying Sakhi, you can see she gave the film her all. Aadhi and Jagapathi Babu, plus Rahul Ramakrishna remain as dependable as always. If only Good Luck Sakhi had something coherent to back them up. We know by now that Nagesh Kukunoor can do way better."
The Hindu: "If the story had more depth, it could have been another Iqbal — an underdog story of small town aspirations and triumph against all odds. But it falls way short. Kukunoor’s Telugu debut film could have been so much more." Keerthy Suresh Nails The Hook Step Of Naatu Naatu Song With Ram Charan At Good Luck Sakhi Pre-Release Event (Watch Video).

Pinkvilla: "The film takes a swipe at regional chauvinism and misogynistic attitudes. That's the only element that works. Otherwise, 'Good Luck Sakhi' is riddled with old-fashioned characters and characterizations."
Great Andhra: "Even in bad films, we get to see one or two entertaining sequences. But “Good Luck Sakhi” doesn’t offer any such. The best part of the movie is its crisp runtime. In a nutshell, “Good Luck Sakhi” is boring. Those who watched the film like us are the ones who are running with bad luck."
