'' scored the film at 4 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Ajai Rao for his brilliant performance. Nidhi Subbaiah impresses with her lively portrayal. The plus point of the movie is brilliant cinematography by Shekha Chandra. It's complete 'Sambhrama' in music by Sridha V Sambhram. Manju Mandvya has some catchy dialogues for you". A critic from DNA wrote "especially with their emotional scenes and the artiste who dubbed for Nidhi for the climax is quite a disappointment. Directors, who have cast actors who have a good hold on Kannada, should let them dub for themselves to keep their characters alive. This is the best example of how bad dubbing can spoil a good scene". B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Krishnan Marriage Story may bore the pants off some people, but scores with its neat presentation and for promoting family values in an increasingly cynical society". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Acting wise, Ajay Rao, Nidhi Subbaiah and others have done their best. For a change, we have a movie which shows happiness and brings happiness for those watching. It is definitely worth trying once".
