== Reception == === Critical response ===
''The Times of India'' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and said, "Komal has done an excellent job as Nandeesha, but disappoints as Vishwa. Malavika scores over Parul in acting. Srinivasamurthy and Ramesh Bhat have done justice to their roles. Music by Hamsalekha is okay. Selvam’s camera work passes muster"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/nandeesha/movie-review/17796208.cms|title=NANDEESHA MOVIE REVIEW|work=The Times of India|access-date=14 May 2016}}</ref> Bangalore Mirror wrote "The biggest disappointment in the film is Hamsalekha. Neither his music or lyrics has even a touch of his magic. Has Sandalwood passed by him? In one of the songs, Komal seems to be imitating Ravichandran. His combination with Parul does not recreate Pyarge Aagibittaite. Veterans Srinivas Murthy and Ramesh Bhat stand out with their performances".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/nandeesha-lack-lustre/articleshow/21257419.cms|title= Nandeesha: Lack-Lustre|work=Bangalore Mirror|access-date=28 December 2012}}</ref> Srikanth Srinivasa of Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Srinivasa Murthy has acted well and so has Ramesh Bhat. The songs are forgettable and the one redeeming feature in the movie is the lush green locations and snowy mountains of Switzerland. Nandisha is a disappointingly mediocre film from an established director".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/review-south-nandisha-is-mediocre/20121228.htm|title=Review: Nandisha is a mediocre film|work=Rediff.com|access-date=28 December 2012}}</ref> News18 India wrote "''Nandeesha'' fails to entertain the audience mainly because of a poor script and ordinary technical values".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/nandeesha-review-this-kannada-movie-fails-to-entertain-the-audience-529027.html|title='Nandeesha' Review: This Kannada movie fails to entertain the audience|work=News18 India|access-date=29 December 2012}}</ref> Shruti I L of DNA wrote "''Nandeesha'' could have been the perfect grand finale but instead it turns out to be a dampener.
