Reception

Critical response

A Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express wrote "Though a predictable story, the director satisfactorily brings majesty to every frame in the film. Ramesh Aravind as Basavanna does well. Sridhar fulfills the asking of his character. Being a period film, there are one too many songs, all composed by Jimmy Raj. The Verdict: Despite some plodding on, the film showers respect for its subject. Can be watched to brush up your history". [10] A critic from  The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Ramesh Aravind, Sridhar, Ramesh Bhat and Ramakrishan for their brilliant performance. Music by Jimmi Raj is good and cinematography by Gauri Venkatesh is superb". [11] A critic from Sify wrote "While the camera work by Gouri Venkatesh compliments the movie, Jimmy Raj?s music needs some improvement. Supporting star cast Ramesh Bhat, Ramakrishna, Dingri Raju, Jayalakshmi, Sheela and Sumithra have all put in their best efforts. Ismail?s art direction is visible clearly onscreen and applaud able too". [12]
