Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Yogish not only for his excellent acting, but also for singing a song in Kolaveri tune. Madhubala makes an impressive debut with good dialogue delivery. Rangayana Raghu excels as don". [1] A Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express wrote "The verdict: 'Kalaya Tasmai Namaha' means salutations to that great entity called time. The audience would bow to time, provided there was more meat to the film". [2] A critic from Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Yogish has played his role well but it is debutante Madhubala who walks away with all the acting honours by playing the innocent girl so perfectly. Rangayana Raghu is seen differently. Suri's cinematography and A M Neel's music are good. Though the narration is quite slow, the film is engaging and a good attempt". [3] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The wide-angles of the camera would have been great, if it was not just two locations; a railway bridge and Hesarghatta plains, that made up three-fourths of the film. As the common film wisdom goes, anyone can direct a film, but not everyone can become a story-teller". [4]
