Release and reception

[edit]

The film competed with forty-one other films for the Karnataka State Film Awards,[4] but it was not nominated.

A critic from Viggy wrote that "In a nutshell, is a watchable film if you opt for an average comedy entertainer".[5] A critic from Chitraloka said that "For every five minutes in this nearly 2 hours 40 minutes film the audience would laugh. They feel a respite as scores of Kannada films doled out below average films in the last three months leaving a danger. However Babu’s ‘KK3’ finally gives wonderful output".[6] India Info wrote "Its time D. Rajendra Singh Babu uses his talent for some script which is really worthwhile rather that these Kathe's, Kothi's and Kudure's".[7]

Box office

[edit]

The film's budget was negatively affected by the change of timings in Kannada and Hindi film theatres.[8]
