== Reception == === Critical response === ''Bangalore Mirror'' gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Maduve Mane's story may look like three different films in one, but overall it keeps you engaged and could well be Singh's dream debut and Ganesh's second coming.

B S Srivani from ''Deccan Herald'' wrote "Shekhar Chandra’s camerawork is A-One and Manikant Kadri’s music has a familiar feel to it, with a couple of songs burning the charts. Soundarrajan’s editing also helps make this film a complete entertainer, leaving very little to complain. This Maduve Mane is quite a welcoming place."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/202581/maduve-mane.html|title=Maduve Mane|work=Deccan Herald|date=5 November 2011|url-status=live|access-date=18 June 2023|archive-date=20 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920172920/https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/202581/maduve-mane.html}}</ref> Manju Shettar of ''News18'' wrote "What you might enjoy in the film is the comic exchange between Tabla Naani and Sharan.
