Reception

Critical response

A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote that "Fight for Organic Farming is a well-rounded commercial film that addresses important social issues while delivering entertainment through action, drama, and comedy. Director Nuthan Umesh’s storytelling skills and Vinod’s action stunts make this film a one-time watch for audiences who appreciate films that seamlessly blend action with social messages". [4] Vinay Lokesh of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "The story does not offer much scope for performance for any of the other cast members to perform. The audience has surely come across a number of films based on such storylines that are far more gripping than this one." [5]
