Critical reception

Shyam Prasad S. of Bangalore Mirror rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "The story is straightforward and easily predictable. [...] Some of the fights also seem to be just a showcase of the new actor. These niggling worries aside, Paddehuli is a decent entertainer and one that is executed well."^[8] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave it 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "Though the story is not all that original, director Guru Deshpande presents it in such a way as to make it seem fresh."^[9]

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "Paddehuli might not be one of the edgy new-age subjects, but it does provide the old school entertainment in a remixed manner. If that is what you are looking for, then this might just just work for you."^[10] Aravind Shwetha of The News Minute wrote, "Director Guru Deshpande has his own way of treating remakes and that can be witnessed in Padde Huli as well. What makes Padde Huli stand out is the realistic treatment which gives it a slice of life feel, especially when it comes to the portrayal of college days."^[11]

Jagadish Angadi of Deccan Herald gave it 2/5 stars and wrote, "The plot lacks an edgy, new-age subject and a realistic treatment. The narrative is extremely slow and will try the audience's patience."^[12] Shashiprasad S. M. of Deccan Chronicle wrote, "The duration is one of the main concern especially the initial hiccups which may test one\'s patience."^[13]
