== Reception ==
=== Critical response ===

A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Yogish not only for his excellent acting, but also for singing a song in Kolaveri tune. Madhubala makes an impressive debut with good dialogue delivery. Rangayana Raghu excels as don".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/kaalaya-thasmai-namaha/movie-review/16782536.cms?from=mdr|title=KAALAYA THASMAI NAMAHA MOVIE REVIEW|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=14 May 2016}}</ref> A Sharadhaa from [[The New Indian Express]] wrote "The verdict: 'Kalaya Tasmai Namaha' means salutations to that great entity called time. The audience would bow to time, provided there was more meat to the film".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2012/oct/14/kalaya-tasmai-namaha-kannada-415101.html|title='Kalaya Tasmai Namaha' (Kannada)|work=[[The New Indian Express]]|date=14 October 2012}}</ref> A critic from [[Rediff.com]] scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Yogish has played his role well but it is debutante Madhubala who walks away with all the acting honours by playing the innocent girl so perfectly. Rangayana Raghu is seen differently. Suri's cinematography and A M Neel's music are good. Though the narration is quite slow, the film is engaging and a good attempt".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/report/south-review-kaalaaya-tasmai-namaha-is-engaging/20121012.htm|title=Review: Kaalaaya Tasmai Namaha is engaging|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=12 October 2012}}</ref> A critic from [[Bangalore Mirror]] wrote "The wide-angles of the camera would have been great, if it was not just two locations; a railway bridge and Hesarghatta plains, that made up three-fourths of the film. As the common film wisdom goes, anyone can direct a film, but not everyone can become a story-teller".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/kaalaya-tasmai-namaha-empty-vessel-loud-noises/articleshow/21295720.cms|title=Kaalaya Tasmai Namaha: Empty vessel, Loud noises|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|date=12 October 2012}}</ref>
