Reception
[edit]Avad Mohammad of OTTPlay gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and stated that "Harikatha is a half-baked thriller that is rushed, lacks engaging thrills, and suffers from poor characterization. Only Rajendra Prasad’s performance stands out in this series, which has a predictable premise and little to offer in terms of novelty".[4] 123Telugu also had a similar opinion saying "Harikatha is a routine and average revenge drama. The core theme of God himself being linked to the killings is interesting, and the suspense elements evoke curiosity to an extent. However, the revenge plot feels quite mundane".[5] Eenadu also gave a mixed review appreciating the pre-climax scenes and the performance of Rajendra Prasad.[6]
