Critical response Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of
Rediff.com scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "The dialogues lack punch and the music is not out of the box, barring Dil Kush, which is soothing. A film that could have been an ideal family entertainer lands up being an outdated attempt. Eno Onthara has nothing fresh to offer even to Ganesh's fans. The wait for this film was definitely not worth it". A critic from
The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 and wrote "Ganesh steals the show with his sterling performance. Priyamani is equally impressive. Srinivasamurthy is excellent while Sharan impresses one with some good moves as a dance master. Music by V Harikrishna is okay". Arun Seshadri from
Deccan Herald wrote "Madhu and Surya who study in the same college manage to become friends but viewers need to wait till the very end for them to express their love. Sharan provides some comic relief but is no way close to Vivek in his role as dancemaster of the troop. Music by R P Patnaik is passable". ==References==
