Reception

A. Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express wrote, "One, the film’s use of plagiarism as a plot device to introduce a crime angle feels underdeveloped and lacks justification. Moreover, the intriguing elements that initially pique one’s interest ultimately become a mystery in themselves, leaving the audience perplexed".^[5] Y Maheswara Reddy from Bangalore Mirror stated, "Kaddha Chitra” may appeal to die hard fans of Vijay Raghavendra, particularly those interested in seeing him in unconventional roles. Namrata Surendranath presents an appealing and charming presence on screen. Baby Aradhya also delivers a commendable performance, showcasing her acting skills".^[6] A reviewer from Udayavani wrote, "Vijay Raghavendra draws attention in his role of carrying various emotions like happiness, sadness, pain, anger, regret. Other than that, the film's music and cinematography are perfect for the story".^[7]
