Reception edit
Critical response edit
A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Ramesh delivers a brilliant performance, shining in the dishum dishum sequences too, while Meena is simply superb. The role of the MLA (GR) with a Tamil accent in indigestible. Rangayana Raghu impresses. Music by Sadhu Kokila and camera by Raju Mahendra are average".[4] BSS from Deccan Herald wrote "The first half of “Hendthir...” impresses with a tight screenplay and, some believable dialogues by S Mohan with little in terms of vulgarity. It is in the second half, however, that the film slips".[5]
