A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "While Ganesh has done justice to the role, Rangayana Raghu impresses only in some sequences. Pranitha is okay. Music by V Harikrishna fails to register". [3] A critic from News18 India wrote "V Harikrishna is also monotonous in his tunes. Nothing is catchy from his five songs. R Giri cinematography is OK but nothing appealing in shots. Editing also deserved to be better. The main trump card that was supposed to be dialogues for Ganesh is also substandard". [4] Shruti I L from Deccan Herald wrote "As for Ganesh, his fans may also be left asking for more. It would do the actor good to be more choosy about his roles and not stereotype himself. Our final verdict: Don’t let this Mr 420 burn a hole in your pocket, watch out!". [5] A Sharadhaa The New Indian Express wrote " V Harikrishna's music with Kaviraj, Nagendra Prasad and Yograj Bhat's lyrics does not give out the best tracks for the film and there is nothing really to boast about R Giri's cinematography either. Verdict: 'Mr 420' did not give a festive buzz". [6] Srikanth Srinivasa from Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Sadhu Kokila as an inspector gets the most laughs. Rangayana Raghu acts well in the first half but tends to overact in the second half. Ganesh has performed well but is overshadowed by the others. Pranitha is good. Director Pradeep Raj appears as a villain in the movie. The music is just average, as is the camerawork". [7] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "And what goes on as comedy is too loud and garbled to be made much sense of. Stories like this one are predictable at best. But Mr 420 teaches a devoted movie buff not to have any expectation at all. Pity the waste of money here". [8] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "At one point of the film when an item song is imminent Raghu says, “I need a Bombay girl. Those girls are white.” This is the kind of instincts that the film caters to. This is the stuff that B-grade comedies with B-grade heroes are made of. Not at all worthy of Ganesh". [9]
