Reception

Critical response

GS Kumar from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "It’s not the role that Rangayana Raghu ever shines. Editor Sanath Suresh has done a perfect job with music director Arjun Janya giving some lovely tunes. Sugnan, with beautiful camera work, has added value to the story". [4] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Raghav Uday, as the tantrik Raktaksha, finally comes into his own. The lanky brother of Surabhi in Dushta is all brawn and menace here. Kalyani, as Jayamma, is spunky and believable. Narendra Babu, Rangayana Raghu and others are ok. Newcomer Dr Bharathi fits the bill but has precious little to do nearer to the climax". [5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "Arjun Janya’s music fits the bill perfectly. For a debutant director, Vikas shows tremendous promise. He is one of the new breed of commercial film directors in Kannada to look out for in the future. This film is not for kids and those who take ghosts seriously. Others can hope to entertain themselves while being scared". [6] A critic from Sify.com wrote "Arjun Janya disappoints in the music but nullifies it through a brilliant background score. The movie falls into horror-thriller and of late top stars have not been seen in such projects. Vijay has certainly made a bold attempt through his maiden home production, and it will be a landmark movie in his career". [7] A Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express wrote "As for Vijay, who turned producer with this film, it is paisa vasool time as the film is bound to attracts staunch believers of the Om Shakti movement. Verdict: Jayammana Maga is serious, straightforward and a cinematic surprise, something that is hard to come by these days. Watch it". [8]
