Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of 3+1⁄2 out of five stars writing that "A good show by director D Sumana Kittur who gives a comical twist to a political satire with lively narration and apt sequences". A critic from Deccan Herald stated that "Yash and Haripriya make a good pair on the screen. Rangayana Raghu does justice to the role. Manohar’s music is refreshing. R. G. Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com wrote that "Kallara Sante does not have much entertaining but it is still a watchable film for politically-conscious movie fans". A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Yash has tried hard to perform well while Haripriya is charming. She has improved a lot in dialogue delivery. The scene where she tells Yash to ask the chief minister to provide 60x40 BDA site, 20 acres of agricultural land and Rs 20 lakh is a treat to watch. Kishore has played a different kind of character. Had the director and the scriptwriter taken more care to make the screenplay crisp, the film might have been at par with Aa Dinagalu".
