Critical response
A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Sandesh for his excellent performance. Pooja Gandhi has done justice to her role. Music by Krishnavarada Kulakarni is good. Suryakantha Honnali has done a good job of cinematography". A critic from News18 India wrote "Cinematography is convincing. The actual Army training places and 'Vandematharam' song are well captured by Suryakanth Honnalli. Krishnavardhana Kulkarni banked on the old popular tunes. One Hindi and one Kannada film tunes he has picked shamelessly". A critic from NDTV wrote "While the camera work of Suryakanth Honnali is better, Krishnavardhan Kulkarni's music is below average. Editing work is also mediocre. Jai Hind has a laudable concept, but poor direction mars the film".
