Reception
Critical response
R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Priyamani, who makes her Kannada debut through this film, plays a perfect foil to Puneet in the dance scenes. She looks charming in the film. There is nothing special in Hari Krishna's songs, except for Hosa Gaana Bajaana and Neenendhare Nanage Ishta. Krishna Kumar's camera work is okay".[4] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "The first half of the film is entertaining but begins running in circles soon after. Krishnakumar’s cinematography and the competitive spirit of Priyamani (who sometimes resembles a serious Jyothika) all make ‘Raam’ work. Never mind a small niggling problem. The story doesn’t register or connect easily, thanks to the pace. True film buffs make no distinction of language and will definitely enjoy ‘Raam’, who rams the viewer hard, leaving behind only two of Harikrishna’s tunes".[5] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "It is a treat to watch Puneeth's brilliance in dialogue delivery and expressions. Priyamani makes a grand debut in Sandalwood with a lively performance. Rangayana Raghu is the cream of the team. Srinath, Arun Sagar, Sharath Lohithashwa, Doddanna, and Sundararaj excel. Music by V Harikrishna is melodious. Krishna Kumar's camerawork is brilliant".[6] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "There are the mandatory two good songs and four good fights. And missing is the hamming of Rangayana Raghu (this is a plus point). The rest of the cast have fixed roles. Raam is worth a watch if you can forgive the dull moments that arrive early on".[7]
Release
The movie opening was not good compared to previous Puneeth's films but picked up after three days. The movie had massive houseful boards in Bangalore, Mysore, Davangere and Bellary. The film grossed 20cr all over Karnataka. It completed 25 weeks.
