==Reception==<br />
GS Kumar of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the film a rating of 3/5 and wrote "Rajavardhan is impressive as the formidable Raj. Tamanna Pasha’s brilliant portrayal of the taxi driver makes her stand out. Divya Gowda and Kumar Govind play their parts with ease. Music by M Fazil is average".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/master-mind/movie-review/46570787.cms?from=mdr|title=MASTER MIND MOVIE REVIEW|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=14 May 2016}}</ref> Shyam Prasad S of ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' gave the film a rating of 1/5 and wrote "Apart from Raj Vardhan’s unappetising performance, Tamanna’s Kannada, which gives Pooja Gandhi a run for her money, has to be endured. Only ‘Bullet ‘Prakash manages to act in the entire film".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/mastermind/articleshow/46556126.cms|title= Movie Review: Mastermind|publisher=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|access-date=13 May 2015}}</ref> [[Sify.com]] wrote "M Fazil seems to have scored the film for the heck of it, nothing special about it. Unfortunately there is not even a single element that can draw audience to theatres! The movie is a total waste of time and can be avoided even if it is played on TV, in near future!"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/master-mind-review-kannada-pdols5giebjif.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150314185931/http://www.sify.com/movies/master-mind-review-kannada-pdols5giebjif.html|archive-date=14 March 2015|title=Master mind|website=[[Sify]]|access-date=14 March 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> SV from [[Deccan Herald]] wrote "Suffice to say Master Mind may not be masterly but much, much better than the weekly tripe dished out at theatres".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/465669/a-deft-attempt-thriller.html|title=A deft attempt at thriller|date=15 March 2015 |publisher=[[Deccan Herald]]|access-date=15 March 2015}}</ref> A Sharadhaa from ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' wrote "Master Mind fails on several counts and mostly it fails the audience and their faith in the actor-director who had the courage to introduce a new face — Raj Vardhan — in an otherwise big-budget film. This turned to be a poor choice as the actor cannot act, run, dance, deliver dialogues and nor does he have the ability to emote. The film’s tagline - "The Game of Death", is ominous as it alludes to its own death knell at the box office".<ref name="N">{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2015/mar/14/a-masterclass-on-how-not-to-make-a-film-728499.html|title=A Masterclass on how not to Make a Film|date=14 March 2015 |publisher=[[The New Indian Express]]|access-date=14 March 2015}}</ref><br />
