Reception

Critical response

Sridevi S of The Times of India wrote "However, the film has an important message for the youth. But one needs to wait and watch how it is accepted by the audience".^[6] Avinash G. Ram of Vijaya Karnataka says "The overall theme of the movie is that if farmers change, everything changes. Although Kasina Sara is a rural movie, it looks very relevant today. Nanjundegowda also explains very well how important sustainable agriculture is for today's generation".^[7] A reviewer of Asianet News wrote "A love story also arises in the village for an educated farmer. Actor Vijay Raghavendra attracts attention with his natural acting as always. Harshika Poonachcha is as good as her character".^[8] Y Maheswara Reddy from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Cinematographer HC Venu has worked well behind the camera to capture the greenery in rural areas. Dialogues written by SG Siddaramaiah are good. All in all, it is worth a watch by the whole family".^[9] A Critic from Udayavani says "The plus point of this movie is the environment that complements the story. Vijay Raghavendra shines as a young farmer and Harshika Poonachcha fits the role and likes it".^[10]
