Reception

[edit]

Harish Basavarajaiah of The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Jog 101 guides the audience through a suspense-laden expedition. Centered around journeys, as hinted by its title, the film intertwines its narrative with the renowned waterfall, heightening the suspense."[10] Shashiprasad SM of Times Now gave it two out of five stars and wrote, "Following his impressive Case of Kondana, actor Vijay Raghavendra returns with yet another suspense crime thriller. However, this one falls short on many counts and barely manages to make an impression."[1]

A Sharadhaa of Cinema Express gave it two out of five stars and wrote, "Director Vijay seemed to have a promising script at his disposal, but he struggled to maintain a clear focus".[11] Prathibha Joy of OTTplay gave it one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Vijay Raghavendra’s latest is neither a full-fledged thriller or a romantic drama. It’s a misfire on all counts."[12]
