Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 4 out of 5 and wrote "Dhyan does a commendable job as a TV anchor, and Lekha Washington has matched up to his performance. Joshwa Sridhar's foot-tapping music is sure to attract youngistan. Dialogues by B A Madhu are clever". Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "The film takes a dig at several popular tv programmes and hosts, but at the same time leaves enough scope for the media to pick out its flaws. The 'ugly truth' about Huduga Hudugi is that it is a collage of several mushy movies. There is nothing new even for the die-hard romantics". A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Sharan’s comedy is not up to the mark. It is not clear what made the director select Rangaayana Raghu to imitate late Shankar Nag. The director has not even spared journalists and TV channels including the CEO of a particular channel. Perhaps, his intention was to make the audience giggle. The USP of this film is glamorous heroines and eyepleasing cinematography. Finally, Indrajit has proved that he too can act in films by shaking his leg along with lanky Russian beauties".
