==Reception==
''Deccan Herald'' wrote "Looks like even an innovative director like Dinesh Baboo is fast running out of ideas. Baboo, whose films belong to a different league because of his experimentation with story and characters, has probably not done justice to his reputation in Premothsava . Compared to his previous films like Hendthige Helbedi and Nishyabda, Premothsava is a let down but still worth watching".<ref>{{cite web|work=Deccan Herald|access-date=15 September 2023|title=Premothsava (Kannada)|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/oct24/rev.htm|date=24 October 1999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000613025313/http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/oct24/rev.htm|archive-date=13 June 2000}}</ref>
