Raisa Nasreen from Times Now gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote that "Sarkaaru Noukari is a Stirring Story of Taboos and Realities in Rural Settings" [13] and a critic from Eenadu stated that "Sarkaaru Noukari's Striving is Commendable, Yet Entertainment Aspect is Lacking". [14]
A critic from V6 News stated that "The Hero's Endeavor to Promote AIDS Awareness Could Have Been Depicted with Greater Force". [15] A critic from Sakshi Post gave the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "The Hero character's efforts to talk about AIDS don't come across well in the movie. Some parts of the story are slow, like in art films." [16]
Srivathsan Nadadhur from OTTPlay gave the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote that "Sarkaaru Naukari, a film unfolding the dynamics between a couple navigating a societal taboo in the 90s, proves only partially captivating. The humor lacks sharpness, the drama doesn't consistently hold attention, but the film is nearly salvaged by compelling performances, cinematography, and music." [17]
Sarkaaru Naukari earns a 2/5 from an Indiaglitz critic, recognizing the director's dedication and the cast's talent. Yet, the film is criticized for lacking a distinctive narrative approach, preventing it from making a memorable impact. Despite effectively portraying government job challenges, it falls short of providing the unique perspective needed to truly captivate the audience. [18]
