Critical reception

Movie has got mixed review from the movie Critics. Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India  scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote The film has some good cinematography. The songs too are catchy. One wishes the film could have utilized the same better. Sudeep's cameo is quite crucial plot, but the filmmaker has chosen to add a lot of extra twists.[7] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote The film could have been much better if only Naresh had the will to swim against the tide.[8] S Sivaraman of The Hindu stated Raju Kannada Medium is a huge flop. The director simply doesn’t know how to take the rudderless plot forward.[9]
