Reception
editA critic from Online Bangalore wrote that "Director P. H. Vishwanath comes out with another winner in Arunodaya; a please all film which has all the ingredients required to make a competent and good film, and which at the same time retains some class" and called the film "a perfect viewing for Kannada film goers this year end".[3] The critic praised the film's first half, actors' performances (particularly Vijayalakshmi's), music, photography, and dialogues while criticised the film's second half and called the climax "jarring and illogical".[3]
