Reception

The Times of India gave the film a rating of four out of five stars and noted that "Those looking at a getaway for three hours in a cinema hall for some laughs, a little tears and a story that is soulful and satisfying, this is definitely recommended". [2] Deccan Herald , on the contrary, gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and stated that "We are offered a Hollywood-ish upgrade of the romantic film, with some bows in the direction of the Hindi film Queen . The romantic bits are, quite frankly, sahasra-yawny despite their being carefully underplayed and adroitly avoiding Nicholas Shakespeare territory." [3] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "The beats are generic, but the lovely cast and the freshness of the filmmaking, I think, could make Katheyondu Shuruvagide the Pelli Choopulu of Kannada cinema...there’s not one ill-considered frame (the cinematography is by Sreeraj Raveendran), and the aesthetics add to the experience, which holds you in the mood of a folk song hummed around a campfire."
