Reception
The Times of India rated the movie 3.5 out of 5 - There have been films made that speak about the concept of life and death. Rama Rama Re happens to be one such. Thurthu Nirgamana is another attempt that tries to define living, dying and closure in between. The film is not your regular entertainment fare, but it is a beautiful jigsaw puzzle that joins to form a philosophical note that is not preachy.
The Hindu described it as a unique coming-of-age fantasy drama which is different from the regular Kannada commercial potboilers, which are usually dominated by songs, action and sentiment.
Jagadeesh angadi of The Deccan herald rated the movie 3/5 with praise for the story and screenplay.
Prathibha Joy of OTTPlay rated the movie 3/5 and stated "If you are looking for a feel-good family drama, Thurthu Nirgamana is what you should be watching".
