Reception
A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "An enjoyable film, but it could have been better if it had some progressive content. Nevertheless, in these days of remakes, the audience should be happy with something original".[4] A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "Brilliant director S.Narayan has served an ace. The new gripping area he has touched in this film is tidy and this is a wholesome entertainer. When you look at this film in any angle there are no mistakes".[5] A critic from Viggy wrote that "Watch out for some great visual treats and good performances".[6] B. S. Srivani of Deccan Herald wrote " The movie is quite sound but is like a body without soul. With a little taut direction, the film could have indeed gone on to become another champion from Narayan’s stables. One wonders whether Narayan is losing his wizard’s touch".[7] Sify wrote "Has director S. Narayan lost the magic touch? Yes seems to be the answer as Sevanti Sevanti is an old fashioned story that moves at snail pace. But the plus points are its visual splendor and on the whole the film reminds you of a mega serial on television".[8]
