Critical reception

The film received negative reviews.[4] Indiaglitz wrote ""Shastri" is a badly made, poorly directed film. Its music by Sadhu Kokila is also poor and even the photography can not be spoken about in an appreciating measure. Vigilant fans will find the film just a hotch potch of many non Kannada films."[5] Rediff called it "badly made and poorly directed".[6]
