Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Yogish has done a good job, Ragini shines with a bold performance as his lover. Ramesh Bhat is gracious. Music by AM Neel has some catchy tunes. Cinematography by Niranjanbabu is good". [5] A Shardhha of The New Indian Express wrote "Ragini Dwivedi is at her charming best but too glamourous [sic] to be a village belle. Sadhu Kokila in a comedy dose is a total waste, which is a minus point for the film. Sharath Lohitashava is completely sidelined while Ramesh Bhat and Sathya Priya have justified their roles.  Nothing impressive about the camerawork nor editing. A couple of songs by AM Neel are hummable". [6] Srikant Sriniwasa of Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Bangari is an average entertainer but quite engaging given the fact that it marks the debut of a director." [7] A critic from News18 India wrote "Also, two songs by Neel are well composed, but Niranjan Babu's camera work is ordinary. Overall, one can say 'Bangari' is a disappointing film". [8] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote " Ragini sheds her awkwardness for Bangari and impresses as the bold village girl who doesn’t mind her man chopping off enemies of love. Yogesh’s new found maturity is pleasing. Bangari, however, remains his mother’s pet and of the audience in songs". [9]
