Release and reception

The film competed with forty-one other films for the Karnataka State Film Awards, [4] but it was not nominated.

A critic from Viggy wrote that "In a nutshell, is a watchable film if you opt for an average comedy entertainer". [5] A critic from Chitraloka said that "For every five minutes in this nearly 2 hours 40 minutes film the audience would laugh. They feel a respite as scores of Kannada films doled out below average films in the last three months leaving a danger. However Babu’s ‘KK3’ finally gives wonderful output". [6]

Box office

The film's budget was negatively affected by the change of timings in Kannada and Hindi film theatres. [7]
