== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' wrote that "Director Nanjunde Gowda fails to feel the pulse of the audience. It is sad that even after his earlier debacle ''[[Naanu Neenu Jodi]]'', Gowda failed to realise the importance of comedy, songs and music. The poor quality and lack of richness make it difficult for the audience to sit through".<ref name="N">{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2008/nov/15/this-gandhi-fails-to-impress-7015.html|title=This Gandhi fails to impress|date=15 November 2008|work=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref> A critic from The ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' wrote that "''Naanu Gandhi'', promises much but delivers very little, for the serious movie buff as well as for children".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/naanu-gandhi-wrong-target/articleshow/22350115.cms|title=Naanu Gandhi: Wrong target|date=14 November 2008|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]}}</ref> On the contrary, [[R.
