Reception

Critical response

R. G. Vijayasarathy of Rediff gave 2/5 stars and wrote "All in all, Junglee is an ordinary film from Soori's stable."[1] Sify wrote that "Action lovers will not be disappointed."[2] Bangalore Mirror wrote "Overall the film is a freak of Sandalwood that will give the audience at least a headache."[3] The Times of India gave two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote "In his enthusiasm to give another Duniya-like hit, Suri has faltered in selecting a good story, narration and failed to understand the pulse of the audience by imposing what he wants on them".[4]
