Reception

[edit]

A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "While the film’s first half mostly captures love between the hero and the heroine and also between the bull and cow, the second half strikes an emotional chord. Yogaraj Bhat has brought the man-animal camaraderie that only endears Dana Kayonu to us".[4][5]
