Reception

= Critical response =

The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Devaraj gives an extraordinary performance. Vijaya Raghavendra is equally good. Suman Ranganath and Srujan are superb. Yatiraj shines. Camerawork by Niranjan Babu is good as is Veera Samarth's music".{{cite web |title=IPC SECTION 300 MOVIE REVIEW |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/ipc-section-300/movie-review/5230876.cms?from=mdr |access-date=14 May 2016 |work=The Times of India}} B. S. S. of Deccan Herald wrote "Yatiraj as Investigating Officer Vineet is efficient in a small role. Heroine Priyanka is prescribed a dose of comedies to treat the depression on her face. The climax is riveting as expected and indeed lifts the film. The film scores in avoiding the ‘necessity’ to bow to ‘commercial, audience tastes’".{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/35764/ipc-section-300.html|title=Review - IPC Section 300|work=Deccan Herald|access-date=14 November 2009}} Bangalore Mirror says Vijay Raghavendra looks odd in some scenes due to his weight loss, but otherwise is a bundle of energy. Srujan and Yethiraj fill their roles with life. The background score is superb. If only better ‘commercial’ sense had prevailed, this film would have been a class apart".{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/ipc-section-300-good-advocate-bad-laws/articleshow/21994334.cms|title=IPC Section 300: Good advocate, bad laws|work=Bangalore Mirror|access-date=13 November 2009}} R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "The screenplay and dialogues by Shashikanth are very realistic. The film as a whole belongs to Shashikanth who has to be appreciated for the choice of the subject and for exercising total control over his narration".{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-kannada-movie-review-ipc-section-300/20091112.htm|title= IPC Section 300 is a brilliant film|work=Rediff.com|access-date=12 November 2009}} Sify wrote "Srujan Lokesh is apt. The background score of MN Krupakar is well measured. The cinematography by Niranjan Babu has used the lighting effectively".{{cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/ipc-section-300-review-kannada-pclxuOiicadec.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220118014904/https://www.sify.com/movies/ipc-section-300-review-kannada-pclxuOiicadec.html|archive-date=18 January 2022|title=IPC Section 300|work=Sify|access-date=16 November 2009|url-status=live}}
