Critical response
editShruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Radhika and Tarun do justice to their roles, but it is Dilip who comes out with the best performance. He gets his comic timing right too and lights up the screen. Well shot songs tuned to Joshua Shreedhar's music are the other highlights of the film. The songs are well backed by stylish and contemporary choreography".[3] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Tharun and Dileep Raj have acted well. While Tharun is generous to showcase his semi-clad body, Dileep Raj is impressive with his dialogue delivery and dancing skills. Radhika Pandit walks away with all honours. Veteran actress Lakshmi Devi has provided good support. She deserves appreciation for accepting to play such a role in this movie".[4] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "Dileep, like in his previous outing, is pivotal to the plot and his tapori act is endearing. Joshua clearly has had a ball composing the score with cameraman Sekar joining in. This Gaana Bajaana rocks".[5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Joshua Sridhar's music, which remains 'inspired', is the highlight of the film. Shekar's camerawork allows Prashanth what he wanted, an avant-garde Kannada production. Take a break from the serious stuff and enjoy this film".[6]
