Reception
Critical response
The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Yogish has done a good job, Ragini shines with a bold performance as his lover. Ramesh Bhat is gracious. Music by AM Neel has some catchy tunes. Cinematography by Niranjanbabu is good." A Shardhha of The New Indian Express wrote "Ragini Dwivedi is at her charming best but too glamourous to be a village belle. Sadhu Kokila in a comedy dose is a total waste, which is a minus point for the film. Sharath Lohitashava is completely sidelined while Ramesh Bhat and Sathya Priya have justified their roles. Nothing impressive about the camerawork nor editing. A couple of songs by AM Neel are hummable." Srikant Sriniwasa of Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Bangariis an average entertainer but quite engaging given the fact that it marks the debut of a director."News18 India wrote "Also, two songs by Neel are well composed, but Niranjan Babu's camera work is ordinary. Overall, one can say 'Bangari' is a disappointing film."
