Reception

Critical response

R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Mano Murthy has composed music for an action film for the first time. His songs have variety, but they are not exceptional. The background score by Sadhu Kokila is good. Maadesha is an enjoyable film for Shivraj Kumar fans". [4] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "But the rest of the film is a glorified killing field. In one particular scene the state home minister writes a cheque for Rs 50 lakh to an underworld don to take on a rival. This shows the director’s lack of knowledge beyond guns and machetes". [5] A critic from Sify.com wrote "G.S.V.Seetharam the silent and sensible cameraman of Kannada cinema gives a splendid work. The top angles shots in Australia for the song is brilliant. Action lovers and die hard Shivrajkumar will love it". [6]

Box Office

15 years after the release, the director had claimed that the movie earned a theatrical share of ₹3.5 crores and the satellite rights fetched them ₹99 lakhs - then the highest for a Kannada film- plus they earned additional ₹27 lakhs vide audio rights - making the total net income of ₹4.76 crores as against a total budget of ₹4.50 crores. But he accused that the ₹3.5 crores from theatrical run were never paid to his producer by the distributors since his producer was imprisoned due to personal issue while the movie was still running in theatres on its 48th day and when the movie was removed after its 63 day run, the distributors - Pal Chandani and his son Ajay Chandani - both met with untimely death resulting in nobody to claim the amount from either side.
