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

R G Vijayasarathy of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "The real asset of the film is Manikanth Kadri's music. Two songs Chandamaama, Chandamaama and Nanage Ninna Muddisuvaase are well composed though the choreography is found lacking. The background music oscillates between good and ordinary. Suri's cinematographic work is above average".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-kannada-movie-review-male-bille/20091204.htm|title=Review: Male Bille is not good|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=4 December 2009|url-status=live|access-date=28 August 2022|archive-date=29 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220829102714/https://m.rediff.com/amp/movies/review/south-kannada-movie-review-male-bille/20091204.htm}}</ref> A critic from [[Deccan Herald]] wrote "Ramakrishna, Sangeetha and Doddanna are all well-placed. Hopefully, ‘Malebillhe’ will be the last such role for Digant. Finally, rainbow is known as Kamanabillu or Malebillu in Kannada, not ‘Malebillhe’ or ‘Malebille’!"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/39499/male-billhe.html|title=Male Billhe|work=[[Deccan Herald]]|date=5 December 2009|url-status=live|access-date=28 August 2022|archive-date=28 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220828135337/https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/39499/male-billhe.html}}</ref> A critic from [[Bangalore Mirror]] wrote "The background music is loud and hampers a decent sleep while watching the film. The camerawork is better than most other aspects of the film. Sukadhare’s break from filmmaking has not worked for him or the audience".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/malebille-not-so-true-colours/articleshow/21975480.cms|title=Malebille: Not so true colours|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|date=5 November 2009|url-status=live|access-date=28 August 2022|archive-date=28 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220828135555/https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/malebille-not-so-true-colours/articleshow/21975480.cms}}</ref> A critic from [[Sify.com]] wrote "There are two lovely songs scored by Manikanth Khadri.
