== Reception ==
Sunayana Suresh of ''[[The Times of India]]'' said that "What works for Ayana is that it is fresh and has certain scenes that are beautifully shot. The flipside to this is that the film {{sic|comprises |hide=y|of}} mainly newcomers and some of the crucial scenes end up coming across as rehearsed and not too natural, which brings down the realistic treatment that the cinema aims to show".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/ayana/movie-review/60422408.cms|title=Ayana Review {2.5/5}: The fresh subject and some realistic depictions can make this a one-time watch for people, especially the IT crowd|work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> A. Sharadhaa of ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' opined that "The story is fresh, but unfortunately the film fails in its screenplay. The first half is dull even when there was scope for creative storytelling, but the second half adds more weight to the narrative".<ref name =n/>
