== Reception == === Critical response ===
R G Vijayasarathy of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Chatterbox Rangayana Raghu is different in this film. He and Kishor are brilliant in their respective roles. In the play of words between the hero and the heroine, writer Suri shines but on the whole, there is fewer sparks in the dialogues penned by him. Inthi Ninna Preethiya would have been a better film if not for the repetitive sequences".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/2008/mar/03ssin.htm|title=Inthi... could have been better|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=3 March 2008|access-date=28 August 2022|archive-date=28 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220828071844/https://m.rediff.com/movies/2008/mar/03ssin.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from [[Sify.com]] wrote "Satya Hegde is sure to be in the competition for an award for his camera work.
