Reception
Critical response
R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Guru Kiran does not make any impact with his music compositions. Vishnuvardhan's cinematography and Danny's fights choreography are better handled. Gulama may impress the mass audience to some extent, but it is not meant for the family audience."Bangalore Mirror wrote "The background music could have ensured that flashbacks and current narratives are differentiated, but it does not.For the record, the film is dedicated to Vinod Kumar, the aspiring actor shot dead by producer Govardhan Murthy last year." Manjju Shettar of Mid-Day scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Prajwal and Biyanka are matured in their acting and Sonu will attract the audience. Rangayana Raghu and other actors have done well with their performances. Film's settings are highly rich but choreography has failed. Cameraman K M Vishnuvardan has done a good job with creativity."
