N. Deepak of ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' wrote "The film picks up the tempo when rowdy Indra enters the scene and the subsequent twists and turns in the post-interval part make the film watchable. The campus scenes, car chasing and action scenes are good. But a student’s imagination of underwear episode in the college seems too much. Sunil suits the playboy image. Richa Pallod’s smile is better than her acting. Debutante actor Ajay, as rowdy Indra, needs to further hone his skills. Camerawork by Sai Sathish is good".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/jan022005/mr5.asp|title=Chappale|first=S.
