A critic from
The Times of India opined that "What works for the film is visuals and the music. But the screen time ends up being far too long and, in hindsight, only makes the film seem like an intelligent exercise on paper". A critic from
Bangalore Mirror wrote that "It may have been a good story on paper, but on screen,
Gara is a haphazard plot that is far too long for its content, too slow to be engaging and poorly structured for an impact". A critic from
Cinema Express stated that "The only positives in
Gara are the picturesque locations, the cinematography by HC Venu, and Sagar Gururaj's music. Everything else gets a thumbs down". == References ==
