Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Nagashekar dedicates this film to his inspiration -- actor-director the late Shankar Nag who surely would have been a happy man. Watch Sanju Weds Geetha for classy performances and visual extravagance".[5] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Sadhu Kokila's background music is apt. Songs, especially 'Sanju mathu Geetha', are melodious. The movie is worth watching provided you can cope with post-intermission session loaded with sentiment".[6] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Music director Jassie Gift wins your heart with his melodious tunes to the lyrics of Kaviraj and Nagendra Prasad and equally good is Imran Sardaria's choreography. Manjunath Sanjiv has some catchy dialogues for you. Sathya Hegde needs a special mention for his brilliant cinematography."[7] B. S. Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Nagendra Prasad and Kaviraj all pitch in for a seamless transition from cute love story to hard hitting drama. Perhaps, it is time for the audience to shake off the cobwebs of cynicism and lethargy and appreciate a simple, wholesome fare".[8] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Despite some of the glitches and the some dull scenes here and there, Sanju Weds Geetha has all the ammunition to draw people to cinema halls. Overall, it is a terrific attempt".[9]
