Critical reception

[edit]

Indiaglitz wrote "Kanchanaganga" is certainly not the usual love story, but at the same time it cannot be bracketed with unusual films. Director S.V. Rajendra Singh has focused more on telling the story in a way that may appeal to a large section of audience.".[3] Viggy wrote "Kanchanaganga is worth watching if you are not particular about realism. A must watch film of Shivarajkumar fans and for those who wants to see splendid Kulu-Manali at its best!".[4] Indiainfo wrote "Music by Rajkumar is just about okay and has nothing new to offer though the picturisation of the songs are good indeed. What needs to be mentioned most is late Gourishankar's photography. The camera work is simply amazing and is the highlight of the film. In short, Kanchanaganga has nothing novel to offer and fails to 'entertain' the audience".[5]
