The Times of India calls Daaku Maharaaj a "high-octane entertainer" that stands out due to Nandamuri Balakrishna's powerful performance, stylish action sequences, and strong technical execution.
However, the review also highlights some drawbacks, stating, "The storyline, though engaging, treads familiar ground, leading to predictability in key moments. The lack of depth in the antagonist's characterisation diminishes the potential for greater narrative complexity. Additionally, the pacing falters in the second half, with certain scenes feeling drawn out or repetitive."
Meanwhile, India Today refers to the film as a "decent template entertainer," packed with "classic Balayya elements" that will appeal to the star's die-hard fans.
Nandamuri Balakrishna plays the lead role in Daaku Maharaaj, while Bobby Deol portrays the main antagonist.
The film also features Pragya Jaiswal, Shraddha Srinath, Chandhini Chowdary, and Urvashi Rautela in key roles.
