Reception

A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "Though there is no strong storyline, Priya has mixed entertainment, action and sentiment well with good narration, though it looks silly in many sequences".^[9] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "Bringing to mind Malashri of yore, Priya bashes up the goons or shakes a leg or two, whenever fancy strikes. This desire to dominate the audience is perhaps the main drawback of the film, distracting the viewers from the plot, already weakened by the absence of a competent writer."^[10] V. S. Rajapur of IANS rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "The plot has too many loopholes but the effort is successful as the film entertains".^[11]
