Fans and critics weren't happy with the screenplay and loud music in the movie. However, actor Jyothika was surprised by Kanguva's negative reviews and defended her husband’s movie by sharing an Instagram post on social media. In a long post, she wrote, "Definitely the first 1/2 hr doesn’t work and the sound is jarring! Flaws r a part of most Indian films, so that’s only fair, especially in this kind of film wherein one experiment largely! N it’s just the first 1/2 hr from the whole 3 hrs (sic)."
