Reception

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Yogesh has done a good job, Sharath Lohithashwa, Avinash, Petrol Prasanna, Kaurava Venkatesh have justified their role. Music by Prashanth Kumar is average and Shekhar Prasanna's cinematography is okay".[3] Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "The film also does not have a peppy dance number that Yogish's films are usually known for. Pakkada mane huduganaa… falls short of the chartbuster status. Punda is a time pass watch for Yogish's fans who haven't seen Polladhavan".[4] BSS from Deccan Herald wrote "Debutante Meghana adds the necessary oomph in a limited role. Prasanna is an able antagonist, sometimes outshining Yogesh. In the end, “Punda” will definitely endear himself to Yogesh fans".[5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The credit for Punda being a good watch should go to the original makers. A good performance by Yogish and Meghana. The songs do not stand up to the standard of Yogish’s earlier films. Despite some blood sport, Punda is worth a watch".[6]
