Reception

A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Nammanna is an ordinary offering from a good producer. Sudeep would do better to choose projects give his career a boost". A critic from Sify wrote that "This lavishly made action film fails to impress in spite of a good story and the presence of an actor like Sudeep". Deccan Herald wrote "Sudeep shines in his role. Kishori Ballal, Avinash, Mukhyamantri, Chandru, Sadhu Kokila play their usual part with aplomb. Gurukiran has composed the music. Songs have been picturised well".
