Reception

edit

R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "Miss California can be viewed for its rich locales and a good story, but you will get a feeling that the film lacks a strong script".[5] A critic from Rediff.com gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "Despite the minor flaws though, Miss California is definitely above average".[6] On the contrary, a critic from Chitraloka wrote that "Based on C.N.Muktha's novel this film Miss California is aptly made for the family viewing".[7] A critic from webindia123 said that "the film has not turned out to be impressive mainly because of an incoherent script and inadequate direction by Kodlu Ramakrishna".[8]
