He further told: "My personal experiences in my academic life inspired me to write Rowdy Boys. The story is a perfect blend of comedy, friendship, gang fights, misunderstandings, ego clashes and, of course, love. The film brings back fond memories of college life and for those still at college, it tells you that these are the most cherished days in your life. I think all of us have these memories because it's a phase of mixed emotions".[12]

Reception
The film received negative reviews from critics, although praising the performances of lead cast but criticized the story, narration and second half. Pinkvilla gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "DSP's catch-all music saves this generic, bland love story".[17] 123 Telugu gave the film a rating of 2.75/5 and wrote "Rowdy Boys is a college drama with not many twists and turns. Ashish Reddy makes a decent debut and the first half is good. But a dull second half and lack of a strong story is a drawback. Youngsters might connect to the movie as it offers relatable elements. Just go in with low expectations and enjoy this college romance".[18]
Sangeetha Devi K of The Hindu appreciated the music by Devi Sri Prasad and wrote: "The biggest issue with Rowdy Boys is that it can remind you of a bunch of older films, to the extent that it ends up like a patchwork of inspired sequences."[19] A reviewer from Eenadu praised the storyline and chemistry between the leads while criticizing the screenplay.[20]
