== Reception ==
Sunayana Suresh reviewing for ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and praised the performances of Sathish Ninasam, Hariprriya, Karunya Ram, Arun and Nagabhushana along with other supporting cast. Praising dialogues and performances, Suresh wrote, "the film wins with its dialogues, characterisations and performances - all of them go hand in glove". She added, "editing deserves a special mention for mixing direct narration and scenes seamlessly, as also the background score, which is quirky and adds to the humour." Concluding, Suresh said, "the filmmaker definitely needs to be lauded for pushing the envelope in his space by choosing to speak about some relevant topics in his trademark style."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/petromax/movie-review/92896909.cms |title=Petromax Movie Review: A film about family values and relationships, masked by double entendres |author=Sunayana Suresh |date=15 July 2022 |access-date=2 April 2023 |website=The Times of India |language=en |archive-date=2 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230402021815/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/petromax/movie-review/92896909.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> A Sharadhaa reviewing for ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, "Petromax, highlighting light and life, is an honest and bold attempt by the director that ends with a hint of a sequel."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2022/jul/16/petromax-kannada-film-review-mixing-mature-humour-with-important-values-2477014.html |title='Petromax' Kannada film review: Mixing mature humour with important values |author=A Sharadhaa |date=15 July 2022 |access-date=2 April 2023 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en |archive-date=15 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221215003440/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2022/jul/16/petromax-kannada-film-review-mixing-mature-humour-with-important-values-2477014.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
