Release

First, the makers had planned to release the film in around 80 theatres across Karnataka, but after seeing the response for the trailer and songs, they released the movie in approximately 200 theatres across Karnataka. The trailer of the film was released on 14 May 2019, and the songs were released in the same month. After release, the movie got a good opening in all the theatres by having Housefull shows in almost all theatres on Friday, Saturday and Sunday[1]

Critical reception

The film received positive reviews from critics. The Times Of India writer Sunayna Suresh wrote,"D/O Parvathamma is entertaining in parts and a one-time watch in all. There is scope for improvement, but the director's atypical characterisation of his leading lady is commendable. Hariprriya puts in her best for this film, and it shows. Suraj Gowda and Prabhu Mundkur play their respective small parts well. Hariprriya and Sumalatha Ambareesh's scenes are also a highlight. Go ahead and try this film if you want to watch something different, yet not too far from the regular commercial fare."[2] [3]
