Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "An age old theme that doesn't suit the present generation's tastes. Old wine in new bottle".[8] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "Despite some in-your-face (and ears) mistakes, Olavina Ole is an attempt that deserves appreciation and encouragement. Moreover, audience backing".[9] A critic from IANS wrote that "Director Teshi Venkatesh deserves appreciation for basing his screenplay on the real life incident even when caste conflicts have still not subsided in several places in Karnataka, and only a few honour killing cases are reported".[10]
