Reception

Critical response

edit

Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Glamour is missing though the film is colourful. The film could also have been a bit crispier. Melody makes for a leisurely laidback watch".[2] S Vishwanath of Deccan Herald wrote "Melody works wonderfully despite its pitfalls. Yes, as its tagline says, just love maadi, for it is as much a treat to youth as it is to the entire family".[3] The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Though Rajesh Krishnan and Kartika Menon have done well, it is Chethan Gandharva and Akshatha Marla who steal the show with their lively performance. Camera by RV Nageshwara Rao and music by L N Sastry are average".[4] Sify wrote "The movie also lacks good music and good dialogues. With such award-winning singers on board, the team could have worked hard in upgrading the music of the film. Director Nanjunda Krishna has tried to apply ‘tele-serial formulae’ which has failed miserably!"[5]
