Reception
Critical response
R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "This is one film which entertains you fully barring the first ten or fifteen minutes which has been surprisingly lagging and has some jarring sequences. But once Dr. Vishnuvardhan's character makes an entry into the scene, the film takes off to zoom and then it is zoom...vroom...ooh.... haa for the viewers. It is laughter all the while with each character in the film trying his level best to make the audience laugh".[5] Rediff.com wrote that "Ekadantha simply rocks -- it's an enjoyable film all the way".[6]
