Reception[edit | edit source]
SND of Deccan Herald wrote that "The director has followed the original story idea. His efforts to make this film lively as far as possible is [sic] clearly visible particularly in the first half which is mainly comedy".[6] R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "In the end, Pakkadmane Hudugi turns out to be yet another Kannada film that fails to make any impact".[5] A critic from Sify wrote: "Raghavendra Rajkumar is cool as Balu while Ananthnag and Mohan as Induās music teacher steal the show. Ranjitha is not up to the mark as heroine".[7]
