Release and reception
The film was released on 31 December 2004.[6] A critic from Sify wrote that "Chappale produced by N. M. Suresh and directed by Naganna is a convincing musical love story".[7] S. N. Deepak of Deccan Herald wrote "The film picks up the tempo when rowdy Indra enters the scene and the subsequent twists and turns in the post-interval part make the film watchable. The campus scenes, car chasing and action scenes are good. But a student’s imagination of underwear episode in the college seems too much. Sunil suits the playboy image. Richa Pallod’s smile is better than her acting. Debutante actor Ajay, as rowdy Indra, needs to further hone his skills. Camerawork by Sai Sathish is good".[8] Music India Online wrote "The deft direction, catchy music, good acting by lead artistes and cinematography – senior director Naganna gives a well measured meaningful film. Producer N.M.Suresh after the mega hit of ‘Excuse Me’ once again come up with a notable film".[9] The film was a box office failure.[10]
