Critical response

A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "The main disadvantage is the absence of humour which is required to break the monotony. The scene where Honnavalli Krishna attempts to enter a temple premises in an inebriated condition fails to impress even the front benchers. All in all, one needs a lot of patience to watch this flick".[3] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Santosh, with already a few films under the belt, is good as Bandi Krishna. Bhoomika takes a while to grow on the audience, but projects hauteur very well. Someone with a more mature voice would have helped her performance.Ishta starts off with immense potential only to fritter it all away at the altar of commercial requirement".[4] A critic from News18 India wrote "The supporting cast is equally mediocre. Technical work is below average except for the background score which is fairly decent. 'Ishta' could have been a pleasing film but the director's haphazard work spoils the show".[5]
