==Reception== ''Indiainfo'' wrote "Good performance, photography and foot-tapping music go a long way in making this movie a good family entertainer. It is definitely worth a dekko.

If one ignores the regular ingredients, this film, a remake of Telugu hit Tholi Prema, on the whole is an entertaining film".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://movies.indiainfo.com/kannada/reviews/preethsu.html |title=Indiainfo: Kannada: Movie Reviews |website=movies.indiainfo.com |access-date=24 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010209085923/http://movies.indiainfo.com/kannada/reviews/preethsu.html |archive-date=9 February 2001 |url-status=dead}}</ref> ''Go4i'' wrote "A remake of Telugu hit Tholi Prema, the film is very interesting in bits and pieces, specially being a clean straightforward entertainer, it makes for great entire family viewing".<ref>{{cite web|website=go4i|access-date=25 September 2024|title=Preethsu Thappenilla|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010909225627/http://www.go4i.com/cinema/reviews/south/kannada/reviewsouthkannadapt.shtml|archive-date=9 September 2001|url=http://www.go4i.com/cinema/reviews/south/kannada/reviewsouthkannadapt.shtml}}</ref>
