== Reception == === Critical response ===

A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Haripriya is amazing with her beauty and expressions. Nivedita impresses you with her charming looks. Rangayana Raghu, Sharan and Dilip Raj keep you entertained throughout. Jessie Gift has a couple of foot-tapping numbers for you. Cinematography by Ravikumar Sana is okay".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/kiladi-kitti/movie-review/13267102.cms?from=mdr|title=KILADI KITTI MOVIE REVIEW|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=16 May 2016}}</ref> A critic from [[News18 India]] wrote "Jessie Gift, though not at his best, has been able to provide good tunes for two songs. Ravi Kumar Sana, the cinematographer, showcases his talent again through this film. 'Kiladi Kitty' has some shortcomings, but is worth a one-time watch".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/kannada-review-kiladi-kitty-worth-a-watch-476107.html|title= Kannada Review: 'Kiladi Kitty' worth a watch|work=[[News18 India]]|date=20 May 2012}}</ref> Y Maheswara Reddy from [[DNA (newspaper)|DNA]] wrote "Even the heroines, Haripriya and Smitha play their parts out quite well. Cinematographer Ravikumar Sanara has done a neat job behind the camera with Jassy Gift providing some lilting music".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/review-review-kiladi-kitty-kannada-1690958/amp|title=Review: 'Kiladi Kitty' (Kannada)|work=[[DNA (newspaper)|DNA]]|date=19 May 2012}}</ref> A critic from [[Bangalore Mirror]] wrote "Despite the flaws, that can fill the page, Kiladi Kitty is the cliched time-pass. You will enjoy it for what it is. Even if you won’t ROFLOL, the flick will make you LOL in some places. Talk about small mercies".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/kiladi-kittynitty-kitty/articleshow/21380383.cms|title=Kiladi Kitty: Nitty-kitty|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|date=18 May 2012}}</ref>
