== Critical reception ==
''The indian express'' wrote, "Although a story like Dhwaja is universal, the film having nothing original leaves a sour impression about the makers. It seems like the film was made only to cash in on the elections that are around the corner."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2018/apr/27/dhwaja-review-only-an-imitation-of-kodi-1807283.html|title= Dhwaja review: Only an imitation of Kodi }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vijaykarnataka.indiatimes.com/entertainment/review/dhwaja-movie-review-and-rating/moviereview/63942969.cms|title=ವಾಸ್ತವ ರಾಜಕಾರಣಕ್ಕೆ ಹಿಡಿದ ಕನ್ನಡಿ: ಧ್ವಜ-Movie Review|website=vijaykarnataka|language=kn|access-date=2019-06-13}}</ref>
