Reception

Critical response

R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Besides Sudeep, the film's major attraction is child actor Joysha Christopher whose performance is superb. Newcomer Raagini is impressive while Gopinath and Soori are too loud. Tennis Krishna fits the bill. Dharma, Dinesh Gandhi and the Lady Inspector have all done a good job. Songs and camera work are good. Go for Veera Madakari only if you haven't seen the original".[8] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Finally, Satyaraju goes to Chambal area in the guise of Madhakari and bashes the living daylights out of Babloo and his gang. The only disadvantage of t h i s f i l m is the length, d i rect o r Sudeep c o u l d trim it a little bit. But overall, a good entertainer for Sudeep’s fans".[9] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The tunes are the same as in Vikramarkudu and Rajesh Ramnath has done what he is best at; retaining original tunes for remake films. The only person for whom this film could have a positive impact is debutante Ragini. If you are not a hardcore fan of Sudeep, ready for anything, you are sure to come out of Veera Madakari with a headache".[10] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "When Madakari is killed by the goons, Sathyaraj who resembles Madakari, assumes his identity and eliminates the goons and restores peace to Devagarh. How does he do it? Sudeep excels in both roles. Tennis Krishna is impressive. Dharma proves he is good at sentimental roles too. Music director Keeravani fails to live up to his reputation".[11]
