Reception
[edit]A critic from Sify wrote that "The film is a one-man show for Ravichandran, who is the writer, director, music director and hero of the film. Replete with sentimental and melodramatic scenes coupled with heart-twisting sacrifices, Oh Nanna Nalle is surely going to catch the fancy of female audience. The heroine Isha Koppikar is no patch on Simran who did both the Tamil and Telugu versions. For Kannada audience Oh Nanna Nalle is a good family entertainer but don’t forget to take a couple of hankies".[6]
