Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Yash for his spirited performance in action and emotional sequences. Sheena has very little to do. Prakash Rai as police officer is graceful. Sandeep, Ravitheja, Chethan Chandra and Sathya have done their best. H C Venua's cinematography is amazing, especially in the climax. Music by Arjun is okay".[3] Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from Rediff.com scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Action sequences, especially the climax, were pitted as the highlight of the film. But the jump sequence in the climax definitely doesn't make you hold your breath. Songs by Arjun however pep up the film. In total, the film leaves you asking for more. What could have been a thrilling roller coaster ride ends up being a merry-go-round!".[4] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Music director Arun has provided lilting tunes. Ramesh Bhat and Umasri have provided good support. The movie is worth watching by youth, especially those who avoid hard work, and parents who fail to warn their children".[5] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "He is loud, tough and dances like a dream. Music director Arjun seems to be in competition with the hero - the tunes are robust.Raajadhani ‘tries’ to keep people from ruining themselves. But it is doubtful if it reaches today’s youth. Just like the ones in the film. A pity".[6]

Box office

Rajadhani got a good opening and was a moderate success at the box office. The film's opening proved Yash's newly found fan following after the success of his previous film Modalasala.
