Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "With a poor script and weak narration, the director fails to impress in any part of the movie. While Ravishankaragowda and Tabla Nani give a comic relief, Jayasheela steals the show with her excellent performance. It’s better if very little is discussed about the movie". [2] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The role of the speech impaired person he did in Snehitaru, though as one among the five leading men is better career-wise than playing the hearing impaired role in films like Akka Pakka. A smaller role in an A grade film is always better than playing the lead in a B grader". [3]
