Reception
A critic from The Times of India rated the film {{fraction|2|1|2}} out of 5 stars and wrote that "Vivek Raj, who doubles as director and hero in his maiden venture, has selected a good story but fails to impress with poor script and amateurish narration".{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/preethi-hangama/movie-review/6473173.cms|title=PREETHI HANGAMA MOVIE REVIEW|date=27 August 2010|work=The Times of India}} A critic from Rediff.com gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and wrote that "In a nutshell, this 'hangama' is best avoided".{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-kannada-review-preeti-hangama/20100827.htm|title=This Preeti Hangama is best avoided|work=Rediff.com|date=27 August 2010|last=Lakshminarayana|first=Shruti Indira}} A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "Vivek would do better to enroll in a film school. Time the film chamber acted on it’s promise requiring newbies to be trained before setting them loose among the unsuspecting audience". V. S. Rajapur of IANS gave the film a rating of 1 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Give Preethi Hangama a miss".{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiaforums.com/article/give-preethi-hangama-a-miss-kannada-movie-review_20206|title=Give 'Preethi Hangama' a miss (Kannada Movie Review)|date=27 August 2010|work=IANS|via=India Forums|last=Rajapur|first=V. S.}} A critic from Indiaglitz gave the film a rating of 6 out of 10 stars and wrote that "Compared to various inconsequential films of today Vivek Raj's film Preethiya Hangama is fair. The screenplay tautness should have been there and no point in explaining what the characters are up to".{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/preethi-hangama-review-malayalam-movie-12257|title=Preethi Hangama Review|date=28 August 2010|work=Indiaglitz}}
