Reception

Vinay Lokesh of The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "The story itself is very outdated and the treatment of the subject is very conventional. Adithya's performance is the only saving grace. Aditi Prabhudeva's character doesn't have any impact on the story. Even the songs are average." [23] Raisa Nasreen of Times Now gave it three out of five stars and wrote that "No one will be able to guess the twist in the climax. It will be the highlight of the film." [24]

A critic from Vijaya Karnataka rated the film three out of five stars and opined that the film lacks a gripping screenplay as well as S. Narayan's music, which is not favourable for the film. [2] A Sharadhaa of Cinema Express wrote, "5D offers a refreshing departure from Narayan's signature style, in a way that still satisfies his fans, with a darker and more intense narrative than his previous endeavors." [25]
