Critical reception
The film opened to mostly negative reviews.
A critic from Rediff.com rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Director Karuna Kumar's potboiler seems rather disastrous. Watch it only if you are a fan of Nitin, or if you want to see Priya Mani's bare-dare act".[3] Idlebrain.com's Jeevi in his review gave the film the same rating and stated that "the main drawbacks of the film are incompetent direction and bad villain characterization. When the villain’s character is not etched properly, the heroism does not get elevated. It may find some favor in B and C centers. On a whole, Drona is a badly shot film".[4]
Awards
