Reception
Critical reception
Sunayana Suresh in her review for The Times of India rated 4/5 and stated, "Darshan and Tharun Kishore Sudhir teaming up for the first time together for a full fledged film.

Y Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror rated 4/5 and stated, "Roberrt bilingual (Kannada and Telugu) movie has all the ingredients required to entertain mass audiences, especially the hard-core fans of Challenging Star Darshan. Though this movie was scheduled to be released in April 2020, it got postponed due to the pandemic. However, it has succeeded in meeting the expectation of movie buffs."[24] A Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express rated 4/5 and stated, "Darshan-starrer 'Roberrt' is anything but a typical action fare from the Challenging Star.
