Pavan has improved a lot better than his first movie as director. Cuts on double meaning dialogues, item songs and vulgar scenes at the script level show the maturity of young director and his team. … has taken care in delivering right amount of entertainment for people of all age group. Googly has received ‘U’ certificate from censor and is a decent movie for family audience to watch….”
