Reception
Critical response
Shyam Prasad S of 'Bangalore Mirror' scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "The audience will also miss Harikrishna and Arjun Janya. Except for the lead actors, the rest of them are wasted. Sadhu Kokila does not evoke a single laughter while Brahmanandams debut in Kannada is forgettable. If it was not for the presence of Puneeth and his huge fan base, Ninnindale wouldve been a disaster." Shyam Prasad S of 'The Times of India' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Puneeth Rajkumars fans may not want to miss him in an adventurous avatar. Erica Fernandes is impressive as the girl next door. But PG Vindas outstanding cinematography is the high point of the film. Mani Sharmas music will leave you humming."Sify wrote "Camera work by P.G.Vindha is brilliant and shows the beauty of New York in a very standard mode. Sky diving and breathtaking aerial stunts form the highlight of the movie. The expected movie has lived up to its expectations and has been welcomed grandly by the audience."
