==Reception==
Srikanth Srinivasa, reviewing the film for ''[[Deccan Herald]]'', called the film "fairly decent" and wrote, "The film could have been easily trimmed in the dull first half. Music is mediocre by Hamsalekha's standards, except for the song ''Baaro baaro geleya''... Director S Mahendar has faltered in the fight sequences of the film." He further wrote, "Ramesh is controlled and wooden as his character demands. Prema is pleasing and endearing as ever. Prema has put up a spirited performance. However, Ramesh looks jaded in the fight sequences that have been done badly. Shiva Rajkumar is wasted and so is Doddanna."<ref>{{cite web|title=Chandrodaya (Kannada) review|url=http://deccanherald.com/deccanherald/feb07/enter.htm|newspaper=Deccan Herald|accessdate=27 April 2016|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/19990506115422/http://deccanherald.com/deccanherald/feb07/enter.htm|archivedate=6 May 1999|date=7 February 1999}}</ref> ''Times of India'' wrote "Director Mahender is catching up on the Tamil classics of the ‘80s. So, after a rehash of Bharathi Rajaa’s Kadalora Kavidhaigal, it’s Mani’s Mouna Raagam. Mahender takes his job seriously and even the simplest of shots have the same camera angle. The most impressive aspect is that he doesn’t tamper with the original and tries to use his imagination. If you haven’t seen the original, this is not bad at all and is several notches above what’s being served today It would have been much better if Mahender had used the original background score by Ilayaraja which was superb."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200609114929/http://www.cscsarchive.org/MediaArchive/art.nsf/(docid)/A67CC4504123CD1E652569400062A3C5?OpenDocument</ref>
