== Reception == === Critical response === BS Srivani from ''Deccan Herald'' wrote, "Coming from a seasoned and intelligent director, the stretched out climax is a disappointment. This Galaate loses volume pretty quickly. Watch it for Suman and the rest".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/304620/galaate-movie-review-love-never.html|title='Galaate' movie review: Love never comes easy|publisher=Deccan Herald|access-date=11 January 2013}}</ref> A critic from ''The Times of India'' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "While Prajwal impresses you with his matured performance, Krithi gives life to her role. Shobhraj and Suman make a good screen couple with decent performances. Tilak shines as a villain. Cinematography by AV Krishnakumar is amazing and music by Jassie Gift is good".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/galaate/movie-review/17999382.cms?from=mdr|title=GALAATE MOVIE REVIEW|work=The Times of India|access-date=14 May 2016}}</ref> Srikant Srinivasa from ''Rediff.com'' scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and said, "The music is average and Krishna Kumar's camerawork is good.
