Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "While Sonal is simply superb, Haripriya is equally good. Dattanna, Prem, Tarun, Venkatesh Prasad have done justice to their roles. Kabir Lal's camera work is pleasing to the eyes. V Harikrishna walks away with all honours for his brilliant musical work. Chinthan, dialogue writer, needs special mention for his good work. A movie for the family audience".^[7] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Dialogues by Chintan, cinematography by Kabir Lal and music by V Harikrishna all complement the director's vision, providing ample tour-time for the intrepid travellers. "Cheluveye..." is Shivanna's 98th release. The film is a must watch, not only for his fans but also families and armchair tourists".^[8]
