==Reception== | |||
The movie was a big hit. Film analysts though were skeptical of Kanagal's handling of the theme. According to film historian K Puttaswamy, “It was extraordinary in its making but quite conservative in approach. It looks at losing one’s chastity as a sin and death as the solution. It is also a turning point in Kanagal’s career since from then he was quite conservative in his handling of women’s issues".<ref>{{Cite web |last=B M |first=Sujay |date=30 Sep 2023 |title=1973 - When Kannada cinema fired on all cylinders |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/entertainment/1973-when-kannada-cinema-fired-on-all-cylinders-2707016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250319150828/https://www.deccanherald.com/entertainment/1973-when-kannada-cinema-fired-on-all-cylinders-2707016 |archive-date=19 March 2025 |website=[[Deccan Herald]] |access-date=19 March 2025 }}</ref> | |||
