Reception
A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "The director has followed the original story idea. His efforts to make this film lively as far as possible is clearly visible particularly in the first half which is mainly comedy".[5] A critic from Nowrunning wrote that "In the end, Pakkadmane Hudugi turns out to be yet another Kannada film that fails to make any impact".[6]
