Srikanth Srinivasa from Rediff.com scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Srinivas's cinematography is pleasing; a major portion of the film was shot in Mysore. Director Prabhu Srinivas has remained faithful to the Tamil original. This is a film for those who are in love. Go for it and enjoy". [6] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Sharan is the star performer in this film. Mukhyamantri Chandru has made one of his rare appearances in films of late. Parijata, billed as Valentine’s Day special, does not live up to its expectations". [7] A critic from News18 India wrote "Sreenivas' camera work makes a very good impact. 'Parijatha' is an enjoyable comedy film, thanks to chemistry of the lead pair Diggy and Andy". [8] A critic from NDTV wrote "Mano Murthy's music and background score gel with the mood of the film. The title song and "Nee Mohisu" are good compositions". [9]
