== Reception ==
A critic from ''[[Rediff.com]]'' wrote that "Over all, Ayya is what they call a timepass movie".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/ayya/20050211.htm|title=Ayya is a collage of popular non-Kannada films|work=[[Rediff.com]]|author=R G Vijayasarathy|date=11 February 2005}}</ref> SND of ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' wrote "There are loads of action scenes and the dialogues are catchy. There are also some references to the nexus between politicians and rowdies. The director has worked hard to include all important ‘masala’ ingredients to attract audiences to the film, especially Darshan’s fans".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/feb132005/mr6.asp|date=13 February 2005|website=Deccan Herald|title=Ayya|last=SND|access-date=27 March 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060523052934/http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/feb132005/mr6.asp|archive-date=23 May 2006}}</ref>
