Reception
A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "It is not only the narration that is patchy, even the technical standards are like a B Grade film. There are many scenes that seem to have been shot on a cheap mobile phone and are pixelated on the big screen".{{Cite web |last=S. |first=Shyam Prasad |date=8 May 2015 |title=Movie Review: Rebel |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/rebel/articleshow/47204987.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221219083908/https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/rebel/articleshow/47204987.cms |archive-date=19 December 2022 |access-date=19 December 2022 |website=Bangalore Mirror}} A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The plot, if we are to call it that, is like a jigsaw puzzle made of dough. Malleable, it twists and turns according to the whims of the makers, in order to accommodate every little character in every other frame".{{Cite web |last=Suresh |first=Sunayana |date=8 May 2015 |title=REBEL MOVIE REVIEW |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/rebel/movie-review/47212771.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221106030147/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/rebel/movie-review/47212771.cms |archive-date=6 November 2022 |access-date=19 December 2022 |website=The Times of India}} A critic from The Hindu wrote that "There are some films that are so bad that they are fun to watch. And then there is a film like S.V. Rajendra Singh Babu’s Rebel which does not fall even into that category".{{Cite web |last=Nathan |first=Archana |date=9 May 2015 |title=Rebel and give it a miss |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/rebel-kannada-film-review/article7187682.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221106000448/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/rebel-kannada-film-review/article7187682.ece |archive-date=6 November 2022 |access-date=19 December 2022 |website=The Hindu}}
