In its review of the film, OTTplay’s critic wrote, “Virgin Story's problem isn't with the lack of effort; it just reeks of amateurishness. In the hands of a filmmaker with more sensitivity and a flair for comedy, it could've been a fun, quirky watch. The film is long by at least 30-45 minutes. There's no doubt about Vikram Sahidev's potential.”
Prior to the release of Virgin Story, the makers said, “Virgin Story is for all teenagers and their parents to understand the mind frame of the younger generation. It talks of feelings and moments that are sure to change our idea of romance, love and life completely.” Achu Rajamani composed the music for the film. Anish Tharun Kumar is the cinematographer and Garry BH is the editor.
Vijay Prakash choreographed the dance sequences while Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar and Anantha Sriram are the lyricists. Uday is the production designer.
