Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "GBTB could have been a better offering with a good script and neat performances from its artists".[4] A critic from Rediff.com rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "All in Gange Baare Thunge Baare is an ordinary fare from a much acclaimed director".[5] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "In a triangular love story the efficient director Kokila Sadhu comes out with a significant screenplay and in the climax he applies a simple answer. However with good looking faces on screen keeping aside vulgarity and violence here is a pleasant film for the hot summer".[6] A critic from Chitraloka wrote that "Prajwal Devaraj's new film Gange Baare Thunge Baare is a youthful love triangle which is handled quite well with elan and intelligence. Actor and Director Sadhu Kokila has once again shown that he can handle any type of subjects for his direction and maintaining a good narrative is his strong point."[7]
