== Reception ==<br />
Sunayana Suresh of ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote that "The film manages to entertain, provided you aren't the typical cinematic audience that wants stories laced with the romance-song-dance-fight routines".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Suresh |first=Sunayana |title=Kahi Movie Review |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/kahi/movie-review/55242896.cms |website=The Times of India |access-date=15 August 2022 |archive-date=8 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220108192353/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/kahi/movie-review/55242896.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> Shyam Prasad of ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' said that "''Kahi'' (bitter) is a commendable attempt by newcomers that furthers the 'new wave' of Kannada films.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Movie Review: Kahi |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/movie-review-kahi/articleshow/55250385.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220107170906/https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/movie-review-kahi/articleshow/55250385.cms |archive-date=2022-01-07 |access-date=2022-08-15 |website=Bangalore Mirror}}</ref> On the contrary, a critic from ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that "You are left with more questions than answers at the end of Kahi. And like the protagonists, you too are being asked to survive the bitter pill".<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 4, 2016 |title=Kahi: Too bitter to swallow |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/Kahi-Too-bitter-to-swallow/article16437468.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815132237/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/Kahi-Too-bitter-to-swallow/article16437468.ece |archive-date=August 15, 2022 |access-date=August 15, 2022 |website=The Hindu}}</ref> Rakesh Mehar of ''[[The News Minute]]'' opined that "Not all of the film's narrative jumps and juxtapositions work well enough, and there are portions that could have done with more finesse. But to see such a narrative attempt coming out of Kannada cinema is indeed a welcome surprise".<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 November 2016 |title=Review: 'Kahi' weaves strong narratives into a surprisingly good ensemble film |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/review-kahi-weaves-strong-narratives-surprisingly-good-ensemble-film-52423 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421134110/https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/review-kahi-weaves-strong-narratives-surprisingly-good-ensemble-film-52423 |archive-date=21 April 2021 |access-date=15 August 2022 |website=The News Minute}}</ref><br />
