Critical reception

The New Indian Express wrote, "Although a story like Dhwaja is universal, the film having nothing original leaves a sour impression about the makers. It seems like the film was made only to cash in on the elections that are around the corner."[3] The Times of India wrote , "This film has good visuals, an interesting tale of love and betrayal against a political backdrop, and a lot of commercial elements. If you're someone looking for that, this might just interest you".[4]
