A critic from Viggy wrote that "In a nutshell, Yojaran Bhat's Mani is a perfectly polished pearl that shines among the lot". [4] A critic from Chitraloka wrote that "Hats off to the new director for striking to our eyes the realities happening around us. The style adopted by the director is simple yet marvelous". [5] S. N. Deepak of Deccan Herald wrote: "Debutant director Yogaraj Bhat has done a brilliant job of depicting a hypocritical male dominated society, helplessness of a prostitute and the humanity surrounding it in this film." He added, "The story is well-knit and has a touch of freshness. The way in which love blooms between the two hearts in a prostitution area is watchable. The dialogues have been written carefully to avoid double meanings and vulgarity as the film also deals with prostitution." He concluded the performances of the lead actors and the art direction by Shashidhar Adapa. [6]
