== Reception ==
A critic from ''[[Idlebrain.com]]'' said that "Over all, it's an average flick and worth watching for all curious people to see how Prabhas fared".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-eeswar.html|title=Movie review - Eeswar|work=Idlebrain.com|access-date=1 November 2022|archive-date=1 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221101225853/https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-eeswar.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Sify]]'' opined that "On the whole ''[[Takkari Donga]]'' director Jayant C Paranji’s new film ''Eeswar'' is lacklustre".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/nov/19south.htm|title=Eeswar is boring!|work=[[Sify]]|via=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=1 November 2022|archive-date=1 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221101225846/https://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/nov/19south.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Gudipoodi Srihari]] of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote, "A little more care in streamlining the climax part of the story would have made the drama look sensible and different.
