Critical response
Jagadish Angadi from Deccan Herald wrote "The pathetically choreographed action sequences make stunt scenes of the 90s look better. Upendra excels in some scenes. Those valuing their money and time must skip the film". A Sharadhaa from Cinema Express wrote "Home Minister is a family entertainer that aims to tell a powerful message to young parents. Hope it reaches its target audience and becomes a conversation starter". Pratibha Joy from OTT Play says "Home Minister is a much-delayed film and the better late than never maxim really doesn’t apply here. This is a film that you can give a skip".
