This resulted in Guruprasad's absence during the audio launch.{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/Director-Guruprasad-skips-Eradane-Sala-audio-launch/articleshow/56534805.cms|title=Director Guruprasad skips Eradane Sala audio launch|newspaper=The Times of India|date=14 January 2017|access-date=24 February 2017|archive-date=18 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170518184835/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/Director-Guruprasad-skips-Eradane-Sala-audio-launch/articleshow/56534805.cms|url-status=live}}

Reception
The Kannada film Eradane Sala, directed by Guruprasad, received a range of reactions from critics upon its release. The Hindu described it as a repetitive narrative, questioning the purpose of its "take two" approach and suggesting that it failed to offer a compelling resolution or fresh perspective.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/eradane-sala-take-two-but-to-what-end/article17403553.ece|title=Eradane Sala: Take two, but to what end?|publisher=The Hindu|date=3 March 2017|access-date=7 March 2025}} In contrast, The New Indian Express praised its romantic elements, calling it a "sizzling summer romance" that carried an emotional appeal despite its complexities.{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/kannada/2017/Mar/03/its-sizzling-summer-romance-all-the-way-in-eradane-sala-1577272.html|title=It's sizzling summer romance all the way in Eradane Sala|publisher=The New Indian Express|date=3 March 2017|access-date=7 March 2025}} Prajavani offered a more neutral take, acknowledging the film’s attempt to blend romance with Guruprasad’s signature satirical style, though it noted that the execution left some viewers wanting more coherence.{{Cite web|url=https://www.prajavani.net/news/article/2017/03/03/475562.html|title=ಎರಡನೇ ಸಲ: ಪ್ರೇಮದ ಹೊಸ ರಾಗ|publisher=Prajavani|date=3 March 2017|access-date=7 March 2025}} The Times of India gave it a moderate rating of 3 out of 5, appreciating the performances and emotional depth but criticizing its convoluted plot and lack of narrative clarity.{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/eradane-sala/movie-review/57445761.cms|title=Eradane Sala Movie Review|publisher=The Times of India|date=3 March 2017|access-date=7 March 2025}}
