Reception
S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu wrote that "In certain scenes Sailaja's performance is good. The cinematography by G.S. Bhaskar is above average  and the music by Late Mysore Ananthaswamy is pleasant.". Trisha Gupta of Bangalore Mirror wrote that "All the threads of Galige don’t necessarily come together. The music can feel tacked-on, as can some of the attempts at comedy, and the Punjab segment has the rushed quality of nightmare. The film’s uneven tapestry benefits from being woven of low-intensity conversations, like the Bangalore in which it unfolds".
