Reception

Critical response

BS Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Coming from a seasoned and intelligent director, the stretched out climax is a disappointment. This Galaate loses volume pretty quickly. Watch it for Suman and the rest". [3] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Prajwal impresses you with his matured performance, Krithi gives life to her role. Shobhraj and Suman make a good screen couple with decent performances. Tilak shines as a villain. Cinematography by AV Krishnakumar is amazing and music by Jassie Gift is good". [4] Srikant Srinivasa from Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "The music is average and Krishna Kumar's camerawork is good. The film raises a few laughs but lacks zing; it may work as pastime for the college-going crowd." [5] A critic from News18 India wrote "In short, 'Galaate' can be described as an ordinary fare because of its weak story and illogical narration". [6]
