Reception
editA critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "This film has shades of the Hindi make Deewana. Beware, only shades of that story. The rest of it is in ‘TV serial’ mode".[5] A critic from The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "Director could have done a better job of this sentimental story with good script and neat narration".[6] A critic from IANS wrote that "'Prema Chandrama' is another amateurish attempt of Shinde that has gone haywire because of a bad script".[7]
