Release

Serish Nanisetti of The Hindu gave a negative review and opined that "The dénouement is a dressed up feudal drama masquerading as a cycle race. Even before the beginning you can predict the contrived end".[3] A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and wrote that "Although, the village backdrop is captivating, but the plot of childhood friends who later re-unite as lovers, has been done-to-death by T-Town dream merchants".[4] Radhika Rajamani of Rediff gave the film the same rating and stated that "All in all, Baava is rather pedestrian fare. It's quite disappointing to see performances by the artistes go waste in a script like this".[5]
