Reception
[edit]Vinay Lokesh of The Times of India rated this film 3 stars out of 5 stars and noted “Overall, "Karataka Dhamanaka" offers an enjoyable cinematic experience, despite minor flaws, making it a worthwhile watch.”[13] Sujay B M of Deccan Herald wrote “ 'Karataka Damanaka' is a mixed bag. It takes up a time-tested template and works with a blockbuster pair, but the plot slackens and goes out of focus.”[14]
Vivek M.V of The Hindu said “ That said, it’s encouraging to see Bhat striving to be different, even after two decades in the industry, and Karataka Damanaka is a nice little comeback from the director after the forgettable Garadi in 2023.”[15] Anjali Belgaumkar of The Indian Express rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5 stars and noted “From start to the end, the unnatural and exaggerated performances in this film can overwhelm viewers, making it difficult to understand the actual storyline. Bhat’s direction lacks cohesion, failing to simply blend past and present elements.”[16]
