Reception
Critical reception
180
Idlebrain.com gave three out of five and stated that the plus points of the film were "casting and technical aspects (cinematography, music and post-production). On the flip side, the narration of the film is very slow and the last half-an-hour of the film is a bit confusing".[13] Daily News and Analysis gave one and a half and said: "180 feels like there was an explosion at the sob story factory and little pieces from dozens of different films were jammed together into one dreadful mutant. The whole terminal illness melodrama attacks your chest so relentlessly, that by the time it's over you’re forced to beg for a defibrillator".[14] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "180 has an interesting storyline about a mysterious do-gooder who lands up with no background to him".[15] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "180 is a film that intends to be all philosophical and profound, but that is as cold as the steel-grey of the San Francisco skyline and as emotionally in-depth as an ad for fairness cream" and added that "Another put-off is the fact that except for Tanikella Bharani and Sri Charan (who plays AJ's friend), no one in the cast speaks good Telugu or even has good diction".[16]
Nootrenbadhu
Behindwoods.com gave two and a half out of five, claiming the film had "great visuals, wonderful colors, weak screenplay" further citing that "one gets a feeling that the screenplay, especially in second half might be the weakest link".
Box office
The film collected ₹8 million in Chennai in the first three days with theaters reporting around 90% occupancy.[25] After two weeks, it collected ₹12 million with occupancy going up to 90%.[26]
