A critic from Sify wrote that "The director Satya well-known for his action films has tried to say a story without much bloodshed or violence. He has tried his best to keep the audience at the edge of their seat till the last frame of the film". [5] A critic from Viggy.com wrote that "Sardara had something to say irrespective of its box office collection". [6] Deccan Herald wrote "Known as the director of action films, Sathya effectively focuses on the feudal set-up, class struggle in villages and upholds the human values in the story. Srinivasamurthy’s acting, as the respected village headman and the crooked villain, is the highlight of the film. Darshan has given a good performance. Gurleen Chopra is glamourous. Besides, director Sathya has acted in a comic role". [7]
The film was a box office failure and was notably Darshan's only failure film that year. [8]
