Film critic
R. G. Vijayasarathy of
IANS wrote that "At one stroke 7'O Clock can be dismissed as a boring film except for the last twenty minutes. But style of script, it has to be discussed in length. A critic from
Chitraloka.com wrote that "This is a very pleasant film". S. N. Deepak of the
Deccan Herald wrote "The first half is lively with funny episodes and blossoming of love while the second half takes twists and turns. Except the loss of memory of the hero and the coma in the climax , the film is neat. A considerable number of scenes have been shot in train, may be the first of its kind in Kannada. Songs and dialogues are good. Some songs and scenes have been shot in Goa". A critic from
Sify wrote, "Debutant director Santosh Rai Pathaje has reworked the old film '
Beladingala Baale ' that had come a decade ago and managed to make this film which is good in parts". == References ==
