Reception

Critical reception

Sunayana Suresh, in her review for The Times of India rated 4/5 and stated, "Darshan and Tharun Kishore Sudhir teaming up for the first time together for a full fledged film. The film, which releases almost a year after its original release date, manages to live up to that and ends up being more than just a mass action entertainer and has enough to cater to the family audience too." [28]

Y Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror rated 4/5 and stated, "Roberrt bilingual (Kannada and Telugu) movie has all the ingredients required to entertain mass audiences, especially the hard-core fans of Challenging Star Darshan. Though this movie was scheduled to be released in April 2020, it got postponed due to the pandemic. However, it has succeeded in meeting the expectation of movie buffs." [29] A Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express rated 4/5 and stated, "Darshan-starrer 'Roberrt' is anything but a typical action fare from the Challenging Star. The actor, who is known for his mass appeal, also delivers an all-round performance that establishes his class credentials too." [30]

Box office

Roberrt on the first day of its release collected 17.24 crore in Karnataka. [31] The film collected 3.12 crore in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh on its first day . [32] However, it was reported that the makers were spreading inflated box office collections [33] and there were discrepancies in the official figures announced [34] which the producer admitted to three years later.

Three years later, the producer agreed to have fabricated the box office figures - though the movie was claimed to have been a box office success, the producer alleged it had caused substantial loss. [37] While Sakshi reported the Telugu version had caused a loss of ₹1.55 crores, [38] the producer announced that the Telugu dubbed version had collected only ₹16 lakhs. [39] The producer also revealed that the movie had not grossed ₹100 crores [40] and due to such inflated claims, his bank account had been frozen. [41] He revealed the total business done by the movie was ₹55 crores only. [42]
