Kumar of ''The Times of India'' gave the film a rating of three and a half out of five and wrote, "Though the subject is strong, director Suri has made it look tame with lack-lustre narration, especially in the first half, and sequences which are dull and weak." and concluding praising the roles of acting, camera and the music departments in the film.<ref>{{cite news |title= Kaddipudi review |url= http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/Kaddipudi/movie-review/20480235.cms |newspaper= The Times of India |date= 7 June 2013 |accessdate= 22 August 2014}}</ref> ''Sify.com'' called it an "average" film and gave special praise to [[Aindrita Ray]] for her portrayal of a call girl in the film writing, "The trump card of the movie is Aindrita Ray, who sizzles for a brief time, in a special song.
