Praveen tweeted: For tamil audiences,who haven't seen the original , #BangaloreNaatkal will be a refreshing film. Music and cinematography are major plus.
#BangaloreNaatkal — Works to some extent due to Bhaskar's packaging and Anjali's script. #Parvathy, #Sridivya and #Saranya were impressive.
#BangaloreNaatkal — 2.75/5 Timepass. Decent remake of a wonderful feel good entertainer but lacks the magic of #BangaloreDays.Watchable once

Nagaraja Reddy tweeted: Fantastic first half #BangaloreNaatkal. What a change over from Beasty Bhallala Deva to Prasad @RanaDaggubati
Settled performance by @RanaDaggubati ☺ not just a guest role, his presence is across the film and an Very Important role #BangaloreNaatkal
Dinesh posted: #BangaloreNaatkal interval - Detailing that we've seen in the original is totally missing. They just imitated scenes without any effort.
#BangaloreNaatkal interval - Doesn't live upto the original. Except Rana, none of them are doing justice to their characters.
Haricharan Pudipeddi posted: #BangaloreNaatkal at interval. Dreadfully pathetic. The casting is a big letdown. Most scenes appear staged.
#BangaloreNaatkal works to some extent in the second half, thanks to Saranya Ponvannan and Parvathy. Otherwise, a bore fest.
