== Reception ==
A critic from ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that "Touted as tender lover story, ''Achu Mechu'' is a torture to sit through despite the presence Tarun Chandra and Archana Gupta in the cast. The film is badly let down by the storyline and screenplay though its theme is ageless: love unbound by age".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/mature-love-immature-script/article2642785.ece|title=Mature love, immature script|date=20 November 2011|first=Muralidhara|last=Khajane|work=[[The Hindu]]|url-access=subscription|archive-date=15 September 2023|archive-url=https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:6FODuYY45IcJ:https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/mature-love-immature-script/article2642785.ece&cd=9&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]]'' rated the film {{Fraction|1|1|2}} out of 5 and wrote that "Over all ''Achchu Mechchu'' is a disappointing fare".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.realbollywood.com/2011/11/achchu-mechchu-good-theme-immature-narration-kannada-movie-review.html|title=Achchu Mechchu Review|first=V.
