Reception

A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "The actors are grossly under utilised while Venu manages to capture the beautiful locals in all their splendour. Throw in the few good songs by K Kalyan but there is nothing else about Ganga Kaveri worth paying a visit to the theatre". [3] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Ganga Cauvery is better than the present crop of films. It is slow but still good for a family viewing". [4] A critic from IANS wrote that "Despite its many technical high points, Ganga Cauvery turns out to be just another ordinary fare". [5]
