Reception



Critical response



R G Vijayasarathy of 'Rediff.com' scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "All the actors have performed well.This is certainly Tarun's best performance till date. Radhika Pandit is one of the best actresses to appear on the marquee in the recent times. She breathes life into Kushi.Veteran artists Jai Jagadish, Sreenivasa Murthy, Ramesh Bhat, Chitra Shenoy are also perfect in their roles. But the comedy sequences do not gel with the mood of film. Even if you find the climax offbeat, you will enjoy the film.Love Guruis certainly a different kind of film, worth watching". A critic fromThe New Indian Express wrote ""Yaaru Kooda Ninna Haage" and "Thangaali Tandeya" are well picturised. Cameraman Saba Kumar has done a wonderful job with the songs. The camera work captures the sequences quite effectively. The art work is fine and matches the film's background. "Love Guru" is a must watch for its freshness, though the story is not off beat". B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Radhikas smartness is evident in her choice of roles. Yajna Shetty and Harish Raj are wasted. Jnanamurthys camera and the graphics guys are diligent; Joshua presents pleasing , yet eerily familiar tunes. What lingers from the film is the directors hesitation which finally turns into conviction. Inexperience in some departments is somewhat compensated by his overall design". A critic fromThe Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Radhika Pandit steals the show with her brilliant expressions, lively action and excellent dialogue delivery. Tarun and Dilip Raj are impressive. Sharan's comedy is a treat to watch. Joshuva Sridhar's music is good. Gnanamurthy's camerawork is commendable".
