== Reception ==
A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the film a rating of {{Fraction|3|1|2}} out of five stars writing that "A good show by director D Sumana Kittur who gives a comical twist to a political satire with lively narration and apt sequences".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/kallara-santhe/movie-review/5359855.cms |title=Kallara Santhe Movie Review {3.5/5} |work=[[The Times of India]] |date= |accessdate=2020-01-17}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' stated that "Yash and Haripriya make a good pair on the screen. Rangayana Raghu does justice to the role.

G.

G.|last=Vijayasarathy|author-link=R. G. Vijayasarathy}}</ref> A critic from [[The New Indian Express]] wrote "Yash has tried hard to perform well while Haripriya is charming. She has improved a lot in dialogue delivery. The scene where she tells Yash to ask the chief minister to provide 60x40 BDA site, 20 acres of agricultural land and Rs 20 lakh is a treat to watch. Kishore has played a different kind of character. Had the director and the scriptwriter taken more care to make the screenplay crisp, the film might have been at par with Aa Dinagalu".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2009/Dec/19/slow-and-not-quite-steady-114419.html|title=Slow and not quite steady|work=[[The New Indian Express]]|date=19 December 2009}}</ref>
