Reception

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "This is a mass entertainer which nearly works with a slight lag in the second half, but it does have enough to ensure at least one visit to the cinema halls." Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Despite the slick narrative, amazing screen presence of Dhruva Sarja and grandly mounted sets, Bharjari is but a motley hotchpotch of situations from standard commercial films." Shashiprasad SM of Deccan Chronicle wrote "The director has carefully penned every word to give it a 'blockbuster' feel." A Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express wrote "Chethan Kumar and Dhruva Sarja seem to have cracked the commercial-movie formulae. The whistles and the crowds at the theatre give a thumbs-up to their effort."
