Reception

Critical response

A reviewer of Deccan Herald wrote "Otherwise, Dove, where seasoned veterans deliver, has nothing much by way of an engaging entertainer. It is purely time-pass for lovebirds who can indulge in themselves with Dove as excuse to spend time in togetherness in the darkened theatre".^[8] Shyam Prasad S from Bangalore Mirror said "Overall, Dove is a film that will not disappoint and is worth a watch for the novelty".^[9] Sunayana Suresh from The Times of India wrote "If you like your films with an extra dose of action and violence, this one’s for you. A good script is an added bonus".^[10]
