Reception
[edit]The Deccan Chronicle gave the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "At the end of it all, 90ML is like a bad drink".[19] The Times of India gave the film two out of five stars and stated that "None of the scenes blend into each other. and the film just ends up seeming like a mishmash of random scenes that lead to a forced yet predictable ending".[14] Telangana Today wrote that "While performance of Karthikeya in the lead role is somewhat laudable, the film as a whole is not more than a one-time watch".[20]
