'' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Diganth with his dimpled looks is much better than his comedy role in Masth Maja Maadi. Mumbai girls Vishaka Singh and Gowri are okay -- their confused expressions are effectively shown. It is veteran actor Uncle Lokanath who has really done a great job as Balawanta Rao. Kiran's music could have been better but the songs are well picturised. All in all, House Full is an enjoyable fare". A critic from

Digant, however, is the actual heroine of the film, with his killing looks and penchant for falling into trouble just as easily as any newbie heroine is prone to do. His voice doesn’t help either".

wrote "Though the film is silly most of the time, it still manages to make you laugh. Girija Oak is the best among all the actors. Diganth is still to attend acting school, he better do it before his next assignment. The film is worth a travel to the cinema hall".
