Reception
= Critical response =
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "It’s Jaggesh’s show throughout. He has carried the story forward with catchy dialogues, good expressions and body language. Director N Rajesh could have a better job by cutting unnecessary sequences which we had seen years ago. There is nothing new in narration or the script".{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/cid-eesha/movie-review/19149758.cms|title=CID EESHA MOVIE REVIEW|work=The Times of India|date=14 May 2016|access-date=9 October 2023|archive-date=2 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150502174732/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/CID-Eesha/movie-review/19149758.cms|url-status=live}} A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "On the whole, you can watch the movie once, provided you strongly believe in the fact that there is no logic but only masti ({{Translation|fun}})".{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/watch-out-bond-here-comes-eesha/articleshow/21214180.cms|title=Watch out, Bond!
