A critic from Vijaya Karnataka wrote that "The only plus point of the film is Jaggesh. Once again he has proved that his body language and timing are still good. Whether in the guise of Krishna, or in the context of wearing a lot of gold, his performance should be enjoyed".{{Cite web|url=https://kannada.filmibeat.com/reviews/230505bakra.html|title=ಪ್ರತಿ ಚಿತ್ರದಲು ಅವತರಿಪ ಬಕ್ರಾವತಾರ!|work=Vijaya Karnataka|via=Filmibeat|date=25 January 2003|language=kn|access-date=25 November 2023|archive-date=25 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210725150005/https://kannada.filmibeat.com/reviews/230505bakra.html|url-status=live}} A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "Debutant director Vasanth is good in bits and pieces. The comedy scenes he has carved to suit the image of 101 films young Jaggesh is hilarious. Jaggesh still has the fine timing and comedy sense".{{Cite web|url=http://202.65.151.11/movie-reviews/651-mister-bhakra-review.html|title=Mister Bhakra Movie Review|work=Chitraloka.com|access-date=25 November 2023|archive-date=5 November 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231105075321/http://202.65.151.11/movie-reviews/651-mister-bhakra-review.html|url-status=live}}
