Reception

Critical response

R. G. Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 4 out of 5 stars and says "When most of the big Kannada stars are focusing on remakes, it is nice to see an original film like this made with lesser known stars. The success of the film will prove that the future of the Kannada film industry lies in original creation and not in copying. Male Barali Manju Irali is a film that you should not miss".[4] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Over all "Male Barali Manju Irali" is an enjoyable fare, which could be appreciated for its narrative, direction and high voltage performances".[5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "Considerable care has been taken by the director to present an authentic setting for the emotional scenes which is ably aided by good camerawork. But unnecessary songs and some boring scenes keeps the film at a dull pace. Only Parvathy performance can bring in the crowds for this film".[6]
