Reception

Critical response

A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "A case in point is the 'talking God' in the first few scenes — totally disconnected to the rest of the film. His first film as a director is just as raw as his tele-serials. He should remember that the roles that made him a child-star in films of the last century were made of sterner stuff". [3] Sunayana Suresh from DNA wrote " Vasu, Naveen Krishna, Master Anand, Petrol Prasanna and Namrata — hatching a kidnap plan for quick money, a take on many gangster flicks like Kaante and Plan. The story then revolves around a series of misadventures that happen in one house". [4] A critic from Sify.com wrote "Except for seasoned performers like Naveen Krishna and Harshitha Poonacha, all the other artistes either overacted or did not perform well. '5 Idiots' is eminently watchable if you can laugh at even illogical and poorly-written lengthier sequences". [5]
