Reception

Viggy wrote "Veera Kannadiga looks luxurious but for Kannadigas, is nothing but an Andhra Meal!".[3] The reviewer for Deccan Herald wrote that Puneeth Rajkumar "in a double role as father and son puts up a convincing show." He concluding writing, "The film’s main focus is on the gallantry of Kannadigas. Music by Chakri will appeal to the youngsters but there are too many songs. The movie will be an enjoyable fare for the lovers of comedy."[4] The movie completed 100 days.[5]
