Reception

India Info wrote "Soorappa is a so-so film. A remake of Tamil super hit Marumalarchi which was made in Telugu as Sooryudu . The first half is moves at a snail's pace with no message or earthshaking incidents. It is only in the second half that is spanking. For able director Naganna and superstar Vishnuvardhan and sob queen Shruthi this film is a usual affair". [2]
