Critical reception
Kirataka received generally positive from critics upon its theatrical release. G. S. Kumar of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 3.5/5 and wrote, "Armed with a good script, Pradeep, in his first venture, has selected a story with a rural background, a rarity in Sandalwood now, and has given it a comical touch with decent narration." and concluded writing, "Yash has done marvellous job as a village boy with excellent dialogue delivery and body language. Ovia is impressive. Tara is gracious. Sanketh Kashi shines in comedy track. Music by V Manohar is melodious while cinematography by R Selvan is good."[8] Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff too a 3.5/5 rating to the film and called the film "a breezy entertainer" and praised the role of the plot and the acting department in the film. On the negative aspects, she wrote, "...the film is just too long. Several songs are unnecessary and should have ended up on the cutting floor and not one is likely to make it to the top of the charts."[9] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "The film was a perfect opportunity for Yash to explore a different genre, and he seems to have enjoyed his work to the fullest. Manohar's music and background score never get connected with the film’s pace and theme".[10]
