Reception
[edit | edit source]A critic from Sify wrote that "Director S.Mahender has nothing new to offer story wise and could have stuck to village based films that he is famous for".[5] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Preethigaagi is enjoyable for those who haven't seen the original".[6] Chitraloka wrote "Though the film starts of slowly it generates pace midway. And from the sequences leading to the climax to the last scene, it is certainly the best part of the narration in the film. And the beauty of the film is though the film has a youthful love story, it has most of the character artists who have equal opportunities to perform. Therefore the film looks consistently good after the film gathers pace. Once the pressure builds up, then the film becomes the toast of the audience".[7]
