==Reception==

===Critical reception===
''Omkara'' received mixed reviews upon release.{{Cn|date=April 2024}} Indiaglitz gave the film a very positive review by saying, "Omkara is a film made on a large canvas and can be compared to any non-Kannada film in terms of richness and presentation. The film has excellent production values, a big-star cast and all the commercial ingredients in right proportion to make it an attractive proposition for today's youngsters. Upendra excels in the role and his delivery of the lines is once again superb. His dialogues have been a major attraction in all his films and "Omkaara" is no exception."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/onkaara-review-hindi-movie-7878|title=Onkaara Malayalam Movie Review|date=28 June 2005|work=India Glitz|accessdate=25 April 2014|archive-date=16 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200716220340/https://www.indiaglitz.com/onkaara-review-hindi-movie-7878|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Sify'' wrote "The redeeming features of this film are Upendra’s regular gimmicks, Gurukiran’s peppy music, Mathew’s eye catching photography and excellent mass elements that will satisfy the superstar’s fans. His lengthy and punchy dialogues receives applaud. The graphics used further lead to electrifying elements. Director Shivamani has followed the usual racy narration in ‘Omkaara’".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sify.com/movies/kannada/review.php?id=13577589&ctid=5&cid=2427|work=Sify|access-date=30 September 2023|title=Omkara|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041221210431/http://sify.com/movies/kannada/review.php?id=13577589&ctid=5&cid=2427|archive-date=21 December 2004}}</ref>
