Reception

Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and wrote that "Monsoon Raaga is a slow-moving film that does create some confusion in the beginning, however, the characters steal the show. In a nutshell, Monsoon Raaga makes for a realistic experience for romantic hearts". [9] While comparing it with the original film, Shivani Kava of The News Minute wrote: "This slice-of-life drama remains a notch below the original". [10] Echoing the same, Muralidhara Khajane of The Hindu wrote: "Despite commendable performances by the cast, the Kannada remake of ‘C/o Kancharapalem’ has been visualised with pure commercial interest, lacking the charm of the original". [11]
