Reception
= Critical response =
R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and wrote "Performance-wise, young Tarun comes a cropper in his first action role. But he is good in the song and dance sequences. Priyanka is much better, while the other heroine Anthara Reddy is okay. Ramesh Bhat and Neenasam Aswath just fill the bill. Simran Khan appears in an item number. Technically, the film is sound. Jagadish Waali has done a superb work behind the camera".{{cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/review/stay-away-from-seena/20090511.htm|title=Stay away from Seena|work= Rediff.com|date=11 May 2009}} A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Veteran artists Ramesh Bhat and Sathyajith perform their roles with ease. Camera work and Music composition are better in the film. "Seena", however, drags on and on, and its unbelievable storyline does it in".{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2009/may/10/seena---violence-violence-and-more-violence-48051.html|title='Seena' - violence, violence and more violence|work=The New Indian Express|date=15 May 2012}} A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "Tharun dances well, fights well. His biggest drawback is his voice which sounds just like that of a teenager subjected to a fresh attack of hormones. Priyanka is yet to master her expressions. Petrol Prasanna is simply disgusting while Ninasam Ashwath is wasted".{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/1479/seena.html|title=Seena|work=Deccan Herald|date=8 May 2009}} A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Basavaraj Bellary churns out one impossible scenario after another. The second half is slightly better where Priyanka does a decent job with her role. But enduring the first half is a challenge. Avoidable".{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/seena-how-to-steal-a-nap/articleshow/22151155.cms|title=Seena: How to steal a nap|work=Bangalore Mirror|date=7 May 2009}}
