Upon release, the film opened to mixed reviews from critics. The Times of India in its review rated the film three out of five and wrote, "With a neat script and narration, the director has done a good job of the story that keeps you gripped to the seat. While the first half is a bit confusing with too many characters, the second half compensates for it with neat narration." The performances of Malashri, Vidyarthi, Muni and Ayyappa were praised.{{cite news |title= Gharshane review |url= http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/Gharshane-movie-review/movie-review/28406450.cms |newspaper= The Times of India |date= 4 January 2014 |accessdate= 15 January 2015}} Sridhar Vivan of Bangalore Mirror wrote, "The film scores on two things: gripping narration and a taut screenplay."
