Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Should you watch Mugil Pete? If you're a fan of old school commercial entertainers, then this one might be right up your alley".{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/mugilpete/movie-review/87803323.cms|title=Mugilpete Movie Review: An old school commercial romantic entertainer|via=timesofindia.indiatimes.com|access-date=2022-08-18|archive-date=2021-12-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211209151254/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/mugilpete/movie-review/87803323.cms|url-status=live}} A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express opined that "If you are one of those who like leisurely-paced romantic entertainers, Mugil Pete is for you". Prathibha Joy of OTT Play said that "Mugilpete is all about maintaining relationships, whether it is between friends, siblings, lovers or parents and their children – it’s a little old-school, but if this is your cup of tea, go ahead and have it".{{Cite web|url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/mugilpete-movie-review-manu-ravichandran-and-kayadu-lohar-liven-up-this-love-story/57ec0371a0116|title=Mugilpete movie review: Manu Ravichandran and Kayadu Lohar liven up this love story|website=OTTPlay|access-date=2022-08-18|archive-date=2022-08-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220818060222/https://www.ottplay.com/review/mugilpete-movie-review-manu-ravichandran-and-kayadu-lohar-liven-up-this-love-story/57ec0371a0116|url-status=live}} Vivek M. V. of Deccan Herald said that "'Mugilpete' fails to generate sensible arguments on arranged and love marriages. That is because the director wants the film to be a star debut vehicle for Manuranjan."{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/entertainment/dh-talkies/a-love-story-as-old-as-the-hills-1052576.html|title=A love story as old as the hills|date=19 November 2021|website=Deccan Herald|access-date=18 August 2022|archive-date=26 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211126004641/https://www.deccanherald.com/entertainment/dh-talkies/a-love-story-as-old-as-the-hills-1052576.html|url-status=live}}
