Reception
Critical response
Shruti Indira Laskhminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "Kalgejje comes with a message for both parents and children. It, on one hand shows how wrong it is to impose one's career plans on their children, and on the other hand, shows how children should resist from disregarding parents. It also highlights the struggles of youth aiming to make it big in films. If the story was told in a different way, it would have come as a breath of fresh air".[2] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Instead, this patchwork quilt offers only visual treat, but no real comfort. Roopika is turning into a reliable performer while Vishwas would do well to acquire some seriousness in his outlook. Rangayana Raghu treads the thin line between ludicrity and credibility. Comedy turns into a farce. The sounds of this anklet do not resonate".[3]
