Reception
A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "A significant part of Krishna’s role reminds us of his own Love Mocktail series. He brings in all-around entertainment and also gets to showcase a bit of his dancing skills".<ref>"'Mr. Bachelor' movie review: An effective timepass entertainer". The New Indian Express. 7 January 2023.</ref> A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "Darling Krishna appears natural in romantic comedies but he soon needs to find the right scripts".<ref>"'Mr Bachelor' movie review: A tasteless adult comedy". Deccan Herald. 6 January 2023.</ref> A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Mr Bachelor is the latest in a streak of romantic comedies for Darling Krishna, which has become his forte.
