===Box office===
''Gowramma'' opened well at the box office despite [[Upendra (actor)|Upendra]]'s character in the film being very contrary to his dialogue-oriented mass image. The film did good business at crucial circuits like [[Bangalore]], [[Mysore]], [[Hassan, Karnataka|Hasan]], [[Chitradurga]], [[Davanagere]] and many other centers across [[Karnataka]]. However, the business in [[Bangalore]] was stronger with a large family audience flocking to the theaters screening the film. ''Gowramma'' was one of the highest-grossing [[Kannada films of 2005]] and became the third consecutive successful film under [[Upendra (actor)|Upendra]]–Naganna combination. It successfully completed 50 days in more than 17 centres across [[Karnataka]] and recorded 100 days in centers in [[Bangalore]], [[Mysore]], [[Davanagere]], [[Shimoga]], [[Mangalore]], [[Hubli]]. The film was declared as a 'Super Hit'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.viggy.com/english/current_gouramma02.asp |title=Gowramma going great guns! |publisher=Viggy.com |date=2011-03-13 |accessdate=2012-11-13}}</ref>
