Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Ajai Rao is amazing, Harsha and Pradeep shine. Umashri is impressive. Sharan, Achyuth Kumar, Chandru have done justice to the role. The real hero of the movie is Sridhar V Sambhram who has given some melodious numbers. Shekhar Chandra's cinematography is equally brilliant".[2] Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "The film is partly based on a true incident and thus has a real feel to it. It brings out the head versus heart dilemma that the youth in 'love' faces. However you may find it hard to digest a few sentimental dialogues and decisions. The second half drags a bit as well. Chandrashekar's camera work stands out in the climax. Krishnan Love Story is worth a one time watch".[3] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Geetha’s character is the strongest; the director renders it weak in the climax. Ajay Rao is a perfect foil to Radhika. The climax is a clever mixing of the topography of the Hogenakal and the Shivanasamudram. ““Krishna”n Love Story” is the perfect tale for the current monsoon".[4] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The music, though pleasant, isn’t great to give the film a push. Radhika Pandit, who plays Geetha, does a brilliant job while Ajai packs in his acting prowess".[5]

Box office

The film opened to a good response and ran successfully across Karnataka.[6] It has completed 150 days.
