After the release of Mahanati, Keerthy’s performance found a special mention in movie reviews. Indianexpress.com’s Manoj Kumar R in his review wrote, “The four best things to happen to Nag Ashwin’s film are Dulquer Salmaan, Keerthy Suresh, Samantha Akkineni and the costume designers. These three actors are in top form and equally shoulder this film. Dulquer and Keerthy make it really look easy to play iconic characters and the costume department has stitched out the best dresses for the film’s lead actors making the fashion of the 50s desirable in 2018.”
