Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]A Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express wrote "However, apart from that, the film feels soulless in terms of its music, story, and character development. It is advisable to skip this musical journey and instead revisit the enchanting experience of watching Mungaru Male once again".[4] Y Maheswara Reddy from Bangalore Mirror says "Cinematographer Manu Halli has done an excellent job behind the camera. It is worth a watch also if you want to see beautiful locations of Karnataka".[5] A reviewer of Kannada Asianet News wrote "After finding out why the person who should clap was missing that day, and what is the relationship between it and the hero, the heroine comes to the point of divorcing the hero. Those who are curious and patient can watch this movie".[6] Sridevi S from The Times of India wrote "Though it is pegged as a musical drama, songs don't linger on. The movie works only in parts and if rom-coms are your genre, this is a one-time watch".[7]
