Reception

= Critical response =

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Uppi has put up a brilliant show that keeps the story alive throughout. Hats off to Priyanka for her graceful performance. Celina Jaitley is simply superb. Prem Chopra is excellent. Rekha Das impresses. Cinematography by Jonylal and music by Rajesh Ramanath are brilliant".{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/srimathi/movie-review/9173744.cms?from=mdr|title=SRIMATHI MOVIE REVIEW|work=The Times of India|date=14 May 2016|url-status=live|access-date=21 September 2022|archive-date=21 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220921175617/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/srimathi/movie-review/9173744.cms?from=mdr}} A critic from NDTV wrote "Johny Lal's camera work looks opulent on screen. The songs and sequences shot in Maldives are a treat to watch. Rajesh Ramanath scores well in the background score. The Viraha Viraha remix song should have been much better. Watch Srimathi for Priyanka Upendra's stunning performance".{{cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/review-srimathi-kannada-620453/amp/1|title=Review: Srimathi (Kannada)|work=NDTV|date=9 July 2011|url-status=live|access-date=21 September 2022|archive-date=7 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230807213549/https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/review-srimathi-kannada-620453}} Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Celina is convincing as the scheming opportunist model. It is the leading ladies who will walk away with the honours in this film. Veteran actors Prem Chopra and Sayaji Shinde are wasted, and the dubbing only adds to their unimpressive characterisations. The songs are forgettable".{{cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/amp/movies/report/review-shrimati/20110708.htm|title=Celina's skin show ups the ante for Shrimati|work=Rediff.com|date=8 July 2011|url-status=live|access-date=21 September 2022|archive-date=7 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220707215838/https://m.rediff.com/amp/movies/report/review-shrimati/20110708.htm}}
