== Critical reception == Shyam Prasad S. of ''Bangalore Mirror'' rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "The story is straightforward and easily predictable.

Sunayana Suresh of ''The Times of India'' gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "''Paddehuli'' might not be one of the edgy new-age subjects, but it does provide the old school entertainment in a remixed manner.
