Reception edit
Critical response edit
R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff gave 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Rangayana Raghu in such roles before. Aadi Lokesh has nothing much to do in the villain's role. Nanjunda and Sureshchandra are good in their respective roles. All in all, Junglee is an ordinary film from Soori's stable. Watch it only for Andrita, Hari Krishna and Sathya Hegde."[1]
The Times of India gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vijay is a treat to watch for his brilliant action and emotional sequences. Andritha is okay. Adi Lokesh is impressive. Sathya Hegde's camerawork is brilliant. V Harikrishna has given a couple of foot-tapping numbers with which choreographer Imran Sadaria has done a neat job."[2]
Sify wrote "V Harikrishna. Two other songs are well tuned. Satya Hegde would be a contestant for award from this film. He continues to play with dark and light shades sometimes giving Sophia color to the shots. Action lovers will not be disappointed."[3] Bangalore Mirror wrote "Suri it seems, gathers all his information from watching films in bars. So, there are more than a dozen references to scenes from other films and when not carrying a gun or sword, the characters hold glasses or bottles in their hands."[4]
