Reception
Critical response
Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and says "Dialogues, especially those between the just smitten Dharni and Jeevi, are too poetic to digest. Sharan, who plays Murali's friend, also fails to impress. Stale jokes find a place in the film and there is nothing even Sharan can do to make them sound funny. Sihigalli is sure to give you a headache. Give it a miss". BSS from Deccan Herald wrote "Normal situations tend to turn syrupy while those that need to be tightened are cut a huge slack. Neither Niranjan Babu’s camerawork nor the music can make this “gaali”, a “sihigaali”. A prodigal waste". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Leykkhan messes with the film and the producer’s money big time. If you don’t want to do the same with your time, keep a safe distance from Sihigaali. It is a gasbag and smells bad". Sify.com wrote "Lekhan's brainless narrative fails to bring even decent performance from talented artists like Sri Murali, Thualsi Shivamani and Sharan. Shirin is wasted. However Murali shines in a few action sequences. It is better to avoid 'Sihi Gaali' ".
