Reception

Harish Basavarajaiah of The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Jog 101 guides the audience through a suspense-laden expedition. Centered around journeys, as hinted by its title, the film intertwines its narrative with the renowned waterfall, heightening the suspense." [10] Shashiprasad SM of Times Now gave it two out of five stars and wrote, "Following his impressive Case of Kondana , actor Vijay Raghavendra returns with yet another suspense crime thriller.

[11] Prathibha Joy of OTTplay gave it one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Vijay Raghavendra’s latest is neither a full-fledged thriller or a romantic drama. It’s a misfire on all counts."
