Reception
editCritical response
editB S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "The surprise package is Moggina Manasu Harsha, who is wasted. It is evident the team doesn't have a clue about anything. Neither Chandrashekhar nor T A Thomas have much to do. Every year during Holi time, people are warned about the harmful effects of colours. Alas, that holds true here as well!".[5] A critic from News18 India wrote "The two heroines - Meghana Gowda and Shravani - do not make any impact. Even a good actress like Rekha Kumar fails to do justice to her role. Watching "Banna Bannada Loka" is sheer torture".[6]
