Reception

A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "‘Samagama’ is another film that raises hopes of a better year for the industry. A good time to pay a visit to the nearest theatre".^[2] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "But without the cherry topping this good film may find it hard to pull the audience. It is still one of the best films to be made by a new team in recent years".^[1]
