Critical response
A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Haripriya is amazing with her beauty and expressions. Nivedita impresses you with her charming looks. Rangayana Raghu, Sharan and Dilip Raj keep you entertained throughout. Jessie Gift has a couple of foot-tapping numbers for you. Cinematography by Ravikumar Sana is okay". A critic from News18 India wrote "Jessie Gift, though not at his best, has been able to provide good tunes for two songs. Ravi Kumar Sana, the cinematographer, showcases his talent again through this film. 'Kiladi Kitty' has some shortcomings, but is worth a one-time watch". Y Maheswara Reddy from DNA wrote "Even the heroines, Haripriya and Smitha play their parts out quite well. Cinematographer Ravikumar Sanara has done a neat job behind the camera with Jassy Gift providing some lilting music". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "Despite the flaws, that can fill the page, Kiladi Kitty is the cliched time-pass.  You will enjoy it for what it is. Even if  you won’t ROFLOL, the flick will make you LOL in some places. Talk about small mercies".
