Shourya (2010 film)

Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Fans won't be disappointed with Darshan's acting either. He is convincing as the bold cop. Madalasa has ample scope for skin show. Reema handles her role well. Ramesh Bhat, Sudha Belawadi and Avinash play minor roles. Sampath Kumar does a neat job as villain Verma. All in all, Shourya is a commercial mass entertainer that will appeal to Darshan's fans".[5] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Sadhu Kokila's music is good. Bullet Prakash and Om Prakashrao have tried their best to make the audience giggle for a while during the post-intermission session. Though it is an action-oriented flick, a few sequences make the movie a worth watch for families".[6] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "Sampath Kumar nee Raj makes a good debut, while John Kokken is wasted. Of the female leads, Madalasa has nothing much to do, like Anushka in "Shouryam". Tall Reema Vohra (of serial Saath Saath fame) plays Darshan's sister. There's no story, but Darshan fans won't mind its absence in the midst of this slug-fest".[7] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "The comic track involving Sadhu in the first half and Bullet Prakash and Omprakash Rao in the second are a big relief to the tepid momentum the film insists on holding onto throughout. It was amusing to see frontbenchers go and touch Mumaith Khan on screen. It is gesture usually reserved for the male star on the opening day".[8]
