Reception
A reviewer of Kannada Prabha wrote"Sunil Kumar Desai, who weaves a story that takes place almost between the four walls, goes to build a hall of speech, is not a good drama and does not show excellence technically, Sunil Kumar Desai is disappointing".https://www.kannadaprabha.com/cinema/review/2016/mar/04/-re-kannada-film-review-269953.html ಪ್ರೇ'ತಾತ'ಮಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ಮಾತಿನ ಮಂಟಪದ ಆಸ'..ರೆ' 4 March 2016 Kannada Prabha kn 4 December 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20231204140935/https://www.kannadaprabha.com/cinema/review/2016/mar/04/-re-kannada-film-review-269953.html 4 December 2023 Sunayana Suresh from The Times of India says "While the soundtrack from Hamsalekha could have been a tad more contemporary, that can be forgiven given the old-world charm to the entire tale.
