Reception

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "If you love college capers with a dose of emotional drama, this is just what you should watch this weekend." [5] Shyam Prasad S. of Bangalore Mirror gave the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Yaana is unusual for a Kannada film. It is a welcome change for audience subject to routine commercial torture. Along with soothing songs, visual-treat locales and an easy flow, it is a trip you will not regret." [3]

A Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave it three out of five stars and wrote, "A film that mirrors today’s cosmopolitan lifestyle of young girls and boys, Yaana is indeed enduring, giving a tip to all those battling heart breaks and depression, helping them live a renewed life." [4] Aravind Shwetha of The News Minute opined that "The film is youth-centric and shows the issues faced by the millennial generation in an appealing way. Their inability to distinguish between black and white, and the greys in between, forms the crux of the film. Though Yaana is not free from flaws, this generation actually gets a movie after Moggina Manasu that they can all relate to and rave about." [6]
