Reception[edit | edit source]
Sridhar Adivi of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote that Paranjee "sticks to a done-to-death plot and fails to engage the audience that had placed big hopes on this talented director, especially since it is his comeback film of sorts. But alas, Jayadev ends up as a disappointing fare".[2] Murali Krishna CH of Cinema Express wrote, "Jayadev is a deliberate attempt to show that Ghanta Ravi can flex his muscles, shake a leg to peppy numbers, shed some tears while making sure justice is served".[5]
