Reception
editA critic from Indo-Asian News Service wrote that "Puthra is an ordinary film despite a good story and neat performances from the two lead male actors".[5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "Diganthh finally has a good film to his credit that had not originated from the Yograj Bhat camp. Putra is directed by veteran V Umakanth who manages to extract good performances from at least half-a-dozen actors".[6]
