Critical reception

Reviewing the film, The Hindu called Hatavadi a "surprise package of entertainment" and added, "Supported by brilliant photography by G.V.S. Sitaram, imposing shot composition, clever screenplay, sharp editing, insightful dialogues at places and simple narration, the film challenges the orthodox method of commercial film making."[4] S. N. Deepak of Deccan Herald calls the film "a simple story of friendship, love, affection and hatred." and adds, "It is also about a man’s determination which makes him achieve what he wished despite obstacles, both societal and physical. There are not many surprises or turns. But Ravichandran has included all elements to please his fans."[5] Writing for Rediff, R. G. Vijayasarathy gave the film a 2/5 rating and said, "[the film] has strong emotional content. The music also plays a major role in elevating the quality of the film." He concluded praising the performance of Radhika and writes, "... it is to Radhika's credit that she stands up to a superb performance. Her emotions are perfect and she is presented very well on screen."[6]
