== Reception ==
Vinay Lokesh of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "The story itself is very outdated and the treatment of the subject is very conventional. Adithya's performance is the only saving grace. Aditi Prabhudeva's character doesn't have any impact on the story. Even the songs are average."<ref>{{cite news |title=5D Movie Review: 5D review: A revenge drama which fails to deliver |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/5d/amp_movie_review/107758613.cms |work=timesofindia.indiatimes.com |date=16 February 2024 |access-date=17 September 2024 |archive-date=17 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240917095046/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/5d/amp_movie_review/107758613.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> Raisa Nasreen of ''[[Times Now]]'' gave it three out of five stars and wrote that "No one will be able to guess the twist in the climax.
