Reception
- Tamil version
A critic from Sify wrote: "With crass item number, songs which come as speed breakers, subplots, flashback within flashbacks, jarring background score, and lot of violence, this mass film fails to impress".[7] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that " It’s surprising that a Kannada flick which created no great ripples at the box office, and had a routine scenario so familiar to Tamil audiences, should be chosen to be remade in Tamil".[8] A reviewer from The Times of India gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and noted that "The film manages the astonishing feat of falling even below expectations".[9]
- Telugu version
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and stated: "There are some movies which are so bad you can at least crack up about how bad they are. Nanda Nandita isn’t one of them".[10] To another critic, "In essence, Nanda Nanditha lacked basic elements that make any film watchable".[11]
