Reception

Critical response

Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Music by Raghu Dixit is lacking ion magic this time. Despite having some of the industry's best lyricists on board, words also fail to move you. The dialogues, however, are impactful. Tough cops and their fight against social evils has been dealt before but the film is definitely a better outcome than Nannavanu" [3] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "As far as the performance of the artistes is concerned, Prajwal looks pale in front of Ravishankar. It is the latter who walks away with all honours. It is a worth watch for those who love action-oriented flicks" [4] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "Mumbai-based actress Dimple has nothing much to do. Dance director Shivashankar, who has an important role in the film, is irritating. "Kote" has enjoyable entertainment quotient and good performances from Prajwal and Ravishankar". [5] A critic from DNA wrote "From here begins a complete action feast, with bloody murders, loud and roaring dialogues and some cleverly crafted acting sequences. Ravishankar, who plays the villain, is a revelation and is surely going to be signed on by many more. Prajwal Devaraj, who plays an ACP in the film, is earnest and his hard work shows. Dimple Chopra and an item song by Rachana Maurya offer the skin show feast for the masses. Watch it if you will". [6] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Prajwal Devaraj scores full marks for his brilliant and matured performance, Ravishankar walks away with all honours for the villain's role. Navya impresses, though she has little to do. Music by Raghu Dixit is good but does not suit an action film like Kote. Cinematography by K Datta is satisfactory". [7]
