== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' wrote that "The actors are grossly under utilised while Venu manages to capture the beautiful locals in all their splendour. Throw in the few good songs by K Kalyan but there is nothing else about ''Ganga Kaveri'' worth paying a visit to the theatre".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/ganga-kaveri-tampered-bottled-water/articleshow/22314511.cms|title=Ganga Kaveri: Tampered bottled water|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|date=28 November 2008}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Rediff.com]]'' wrote that "''Ganga Cauvery'' is better than the present crop of films.
