Ram arrives at the place in order to get him arrested, but he escapes with the help of his henchmen and gets hit by a car. Later, a anonymous person named Kabir kills him.

Rakesh Mehar of The News Minute wrote "At the end of its runtime, Hebbuli is the kind of big-budget film that Sandalwood has learnt to roll out with regularity: with enough spectacle and heroism to please the fans, but falling short of that something extra to draw in the rest of the crowd".[13]
IndiaGlitz.com gave 4/5 rating and wrote "This is a marvelous treat from producer Raghunath and Umapathy. The support of producers for a film with good cause and commercial intersperse is the right mode of film for audience today. This is definitely watchable film for family and fans".[14]
Prakash Upadhyaya of IBTimes India wrote "Hebbuli has a decent storyline. Director S Krishna gets full marks for taking the film to a commercial conclusion with neatly conveyed messages. But the placements of songs and romantic portion between Sudeep and Amala Paul become speed breakers. Nonetheless, Kiccha's electrifying screen presence hides all the shortcomings. Overall, the film is a good entertainer if watched without finding faults like logical loopholes or bad editing".[15]
