Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "If the 80s and 90s style commercial dramas are your favourite then you could go for this. Though, you could always choose a DVD from that era instead too".[8] A critic from Vijaya Karnataka wrote that "Connoisseurs who want to see Vijay Raghavendra in a new role have no problem watching Jani".[9]
