  1. 123Telugu

    Film review

    Maremma is a boring rural drama that lacks a clear sense of vision. The film remains dull and unexciting for most of its runtime, and there are hardly any memorable moments to talk about. Maadhav does a decent job in his debut, but the writing and execution make it a disappointing watch.

  3. Great Andhra

    Film review

    With Maadhav's expressionless performance, weak narration and ineffective humour, Maremma, set in 2006, ultimately turns into a tedious watch. Maremma is another addition to the growing list of Telangana village-based period dramas made in recent years that falls short on both counts of solid script and engaging narration.
  4. Telugu360

    Film review

    Maremma is a film that falls flat in all the departments. The film can be given a skip even on OTT.
  5. M9News

    Film review

    Maremma has a decent core with some intrigue. However, the commercial trapping and its execution are where things go wrong. The second half, especially, is extremely difficult to sit through. Maremma, therefore, ends up as an instantly forgettable fare.
