Reception
One critic wrote that "'Hubballi' has elements of Hollywood hit 'The Bourne Identity'".[4][5][6] RG Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Hubballi is enjoyable only for Sudeep's performance and Rakshitha's comedy timing, but it requires a lot of patience to sit through the lengthy stunts and melodrama in the second half."[7]

But it was Hubballi, produced and directed by Om Prakash Rao which reinforced Sudeep's standing in the industry. He is certainly the star and actor of the year who has also proved his mettle as a director. [formatting original]
