== Release and reception ==
The film competed with forty-one other films for the Karnataka State Film Awards,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2003/may/30south.htm?zcc=rl|title=Kasaravalli heads awards panel|work=[[Rediff.com]]|first=M D Riti|last=Vijayalaxmi|date=30 May 2003}}</ref> but it was not nominated.

A critic from ''Viggy'' wrote that "In a nutshell, is a watchable film if you opt for an average comedy entertainer".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.viggy.com/english/review_katthegalu.asp|title=Katthegalu Saar Katthegalu film review|work=Viggy}}</ref> A critic from ''Chitraloka'' said that "For every five minutes in this nearly 2 hours 40 minutes film the audience would laugh. They feel a respite as scores of Kannada films doled out below average films in the last three months leaving a danger. However Babu’s ‘KK3’ finally gives wonderful output".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chitraloka.com/movie-reviews/2804-kaththegalu-saar-kaththegalu-review.html|title=KATHTHEGALU SAAR KATHTHEGALU MOVIE REVIEW|date=29 March 2003|work=Chitraloka}}</ref> ''India Info'' wrote "Its time D. Rajendra Singh Babu uses his talent for some script which is really worthwhile rather that these Kathe's, Kothi's and Kudure's".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.indiainfo.com/kannada/reviews/kathegalu.html|title=Indiainfo: Kannada: KATHEGALU SAAR KATHEGALU REVIEW|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030807090334/http://movies.indiainfo.com/kannada/reviews/kathegalu.html|archive-date=7 August 2003|access-date=20 October 2023}}</ref>
