Reception

Critical response

Neer Dose received mixed reviews from critics.

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "This film is meant for those who like their conversations with a fair share of innuendo and the typical regressive fare when it comes to portraying women. The film has many food references, starting from the title itself, but be warned that these are masked with many sexual references, so you need a stomach that's strong enough to digest those." [15]

Shashiprasad SM of Deccan Chronicle gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Jaggesh and Dattanna, the two fine actors are yet again at their best performances and a treat while they make it look very natural. Hariprriya as Kumuda is the real change over for the actress, who has pulled it with ace marks. Irrespective of how 'Neer Dose' turns out to be at the end of the day before the box office, Hariprriya's effortless acting will be an everlasting remark in her career. No wonder, even if she manages to win an award or two for this daring one." [16]
