Reception[edit]
A critic from The News Minute wrote that "For Sandalwood, Iruvudellava… is indeed a bold attempt. Except for some lag before the interval, the film does what it is supposed to do – entertain for a good three hours".[4] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "While the film has a sweet narrative, and has a formulaic ending, this could have been a bit more. But those looking for conventional cinema with emotions, sentiments and drama, peppered with romance, this could be just what you might enjoy".[5] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "An entertainer, Iruvudellava Bittu is a film that puts relationships to test".[6]
