Reception
G S Kumar of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "A mediocre movie with no logic, Katte is like old wine in a new bottle".[5] A critic from Sify wrote, "Overall, it's an entertaining comic tonic, advisable to watch only once".[9] A critic from the Deccan Herald wrote, "Watch Katte, which evokes memories of late Shankar Nag’s Malgudi Days with trains criss-crossing every frame".[10] A critic from Prajavani wrote that instead of glorifying the hero, director Omprakash Rao has taken a different path to show that he is also an ordinary young man. The reviewer added that Katte does not go beyond the boundaries of being ordinary.[11] A critic from Bharatstudent.com rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "Overall, the film has nothing new to offer but there were few good moments".[12]
