Reception

A critic from The Times of India opined that "What works for the film is it's [sic] visuals and the music. But the screen time ends up being far too long and, in hindsight, only makes the film seem like an intelligent exercise on paper".[6] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "It may have been a good story on paper, but on screen, Gara is a haphazard plot that is far too long for its content, too slow to be engaging and poorly structured for an impact".[7] A critic from Cinema Express stated that "The only positives in Gara are the picturesque locations, the cinematography by HC Venu, and Sagar Gururaj's music. Everything else gets a thumbs down".[8]
