Reception

A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "‘Ravi Bopanna’ confuses the audiences as they can't make out if they should understand Ravichandra's philosophies or enjoy the film. Ravichandra and other artistes are impressive so is the cinematography".^[3] A critic from The Times of India said that "The movie is strictly for Ravichandran fans".^[4] A critic from Bangalore Mirror said that "Ravichandran’s fans will enjoy this flick as he is the hero as well as the villain and also as crazy as they love him to be.^[5] A critic from OTT Play said that "While the film’s tone, pacing, or treatment are nowhere close to the original, the Crazy Star elements might help them wade through the lackluster writing and execution".^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]
