Reception
editA critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Nammanna is an ordinary offering from a good producer. Sudeep would do better to choose projects give his career a boost".[1] A critic from Sify wrote that "This lavishly made action film fails to impress in spite of a good story and the presence of an actor like Sudeep".[2]
