Reception
Critical response
A critic fromThe Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Yogesh has done a good job, Sharath Lohithashwa, Avinash, Petrol Prasanna, Kaurava Venkatesh have justified their role. Music by Prashanth Kumar is average and Shekhar Prasanna's cinematography is okay". Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of 'Rediff' scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "The film alsodoes not havea peppy dance number that Yogish's films are usually known for.Pakkada mane huduganaafalls short of the chartbuster status.Pundais a time pass watch for Yogish's fans who haven't seenPolladhavan". BSS fromDeccan Herald wrote "Debutante Meghana adds the necessary oomph in a limited role. Prasanna is an able antagonist, sometimes outshining Yogesh. In the end, Punda will definitely endear himself to Yogesh fans". A critic fromBangalore Mirror wrote "The credit for Punda being a good watch should go to the original makers. A good performance by Yogish and Meghana. The songs do not stand up to the standard of Yogishs earlier films. Despite some blood sport, Punda is worth a watch".
