== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''Online Bangalore'' wrote that "Director P. H. Vishwanath comes out with another winner in ''Arunodaya''; a please all film which has all the ingredients required to make a competent and good film, and which at the same time retains some class" and called the film "a perfect viewing for Kannada film goers this year end".<ref name="B"/> The critic praised the film's first half, actors' performances (particularly Vijayalakshmi's), music, photography, and dialogues while criticised the film's second half and called the climax "jarring and illogical".<ref name="B"/> Vani Nagendrappa of ''Indiainfo'' wrote "It has a very light-hearted beginning, with comedy interwoven with the main plot. Ramesh is at his best. Vijayalakshmi's acting is very convincing and of course Shilpa's too. Arun's comical role is really praiseworthy. Some scenes in the second half could have been handled differently. Music scored by Hamsalekha is average".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.indiainfo.com/reviews/south/kannada/arunodaya.html|first=Vani|last=Nagendrappa|access-date=25 December 2025|title=Arunodaya|website=Indiainfo|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010714171122/http://movies.indiainfo.com/reviews/south/kannada/arunodaya.html|archive-date=14 July 2001}}</ref><br />
