Srikanth Srinivasa [[Rediff.com]] scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Topiwaala is worth a one-time watch only for Upendra’s fans. Others may be taking a risk watching it." <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-review-topiwaala-is-for-upendras-fans-only/20130318.htm|title=Review: Topiwaala is for Upendra's fans only|work=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=18 March 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>[[The Times of India]] scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "While Upendra manages to do justice to his role, Bhavana is not at all impressive. Raju Talikote bores you with his monotonous dialogues. Mythreyi playing the role of Malashri shines. Except for one song ‘Malli malli’, the music by V Harikrishna has nothing much to offer."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/topiwaala/movie-review/19001331.cms?from=mdr|title=TOPIWAALA MOVIE REVIEW|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=14 May 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> | |||
