A critic from
Sify wrote, "Remember
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
Mechanic Maavayya too is fashioned on those lines mixed with action, sentiment and entertainment". Reviewing the Kannada dubbed version, Srikanth Srinivasa of the
Deccan Herald wrote, "Though
Bharat 2000 makes an attempt to draw the attention of the audiences to the technical wizardry, the story and screenplay of the film have failed to bolster the film. This film coming from a veteran like S (V) Rajendra Singh Babu comes a cropper in terms of characterisation and screenplay". The film was a box office failure. ==References==
