Jeevi of
Idlebrain.com rated the film three out of five and wrote that "On a whole,
Okkade makes an average flick for a normal movie lover and a satisfactory one for the masses who enjoy Srihari's action flicks". On the contrary, a critic from
Rediff.com gave the film a negative review and wrote that "The director rehashes most of the Hindi film Kurukshetra, and further incorporates scenes from a few hit films to spoil the broth. Another drawback of the film is poor screenplay weaved in with clichéd scenes and stale dialogues. An apology for a comedy, this film sorely tests the audience's patience". ==References==
