Reception

Critical response

Shashiprasad S.M from Deccan Chronicle says "The rest of the operation runs nearly perfect keeping the audience guessing about the real kidnapper. It's neat, lovable, laughable and few tit bits of emotional sentiments make the operation a great success, and the patient is definitely cured of boredom for a great two plus hours of simple fun & entertainment". [8] Shyam Prasad S from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Operation Alamelamma is not a routine Sandalwood film. But compared to the other new-generation films, falls short of expectations". [9] Nelki Naresh Kumar from Hindustan Times wrote "The love story has been stretched to a great extent. The scenes where Paramesh wins Ananya's heart again after the engagement is over are silly. Police investigation goes beyond logic". [10]
