Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film four and a half stars out of five and wrote that "It is a must watch family movie for all age groups without a single dull moment". Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Ananth Urs has done a decent job with the camera and kudos to Harsha, the editor for presenting a crisp output. In fact some scenes from the original have been done away with and a few minor changes have been made to a few others, contributing to the ideal length of the film. Book your weekend show for Nannu Nanna Kanasu. It is a must father-daughter watch". A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Prakash Raj as a concerned and possessive father is superb. His dialogue delivery and gestures deserve appreciation. It is a different role for Amulya, who is known for playing innocent characters. The actor who surprises everyone with his performance is Achyut. He has even acted well in an emotional song sequence" B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "That shouldn't be the case of the audience, who may discover some of the pleasures of plain, good old cinema. For, Prakash Raj’s “Kanasu” is the Kanasu of every father here". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "Laali, by Dinesh Baboo, was one film that explored the bond between a father and daughter. So, Naanu Nanna Kanasu is not a new subject for Sandalwood. Between the two, Laali is better. This film will entertain those bred on television soaps and make them realise that a story can be told in 150 minutes instead of years".
