Critical reception

''Chitraloka'' wrote "We would like to coin it as 'Tower' Na Siri' for 'Thavarina Siri'. This is mainly because everything is on top of tower in this film. The magnanimity, sacrifices, affection in the subject, screenplay, the luxurious takings, splendid music and lyrics and once again on top of the tower is the powerful acting from main leads – Shivarajkumar, Ramesh Bhat and Daisy Boppanna". ''Deccan Herald'' wrote "Saiprakash once again proves that he can handle sentimental films effectively. However, the comic scenes, not related to the script, do not go well with the story. Shivarajkumar's performace, as a responsible brother, particularly in the second half, deserves kudos. Glam doll Daisy Bopanna, in the non-glamourous role of a well-educated village girl Priya, displays her acting skills well. Ramesh Bhat impresses. Hamsalekha has composed some good songs, particularly the title song, Hasidavage anna and Mathad mathad mallige. B A Madhu's dialogues and R Giri's camerawork are the other plus points of the film".
