Cast

Reception

Critical response

A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Anup Silin has provided lilting music. It is certainly worth watching till  intermission. One needs a little bit extra patience to sit through its second half". [4] A critic from News18 India wrote "The rural situations look natural and real thanks to the work done by art director. 'Sidlingu' is a better presented with a good performance from young hero Yogish". [5] Shruti I L from DNA wrote "Anoop Seelin’s music, especially in the song Ellelo oduva manase… is worth a mention. Sidlingu held all the possibilities of soaring high but it falls short, leaving you asking for more". [6] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "What could have been another film in the genre of Mera Naam Joker and My Autograph ends up being pathetically ordinary. But for the twist in the last 10 seconds, the audience would have felt cheated by the trailers". [7]

Soundtrack

The much-hyped audio of ‘Sidlingu’ was released on 29 November 2011 at Srinivasa Theatre, Gowdana Palya which was attended by Kannada film personalities such as Raghavendra Rajkumar, Prajwal Devaraj, Diganth, Jaggesh and Duniya Vijay. [8]
