Crazy Kutumba

Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "As the characters are from Belgaum, they speak Kannada in the North Karnataka style that too very convincingly. Coming to humour, it is the scenes between Anath Nag and Ramesh that mostly invite laughter. The comedian in Rajinikanth (who plays kleptomaniac) impresses only at a few places. Also the film could have done without Sundari's character.[3] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Veteran actor Anant Nag shines in the role of a drunkard father. Well-known comedians Umesh and Karibasavayya have played their parts with ease. The newcomers Sanathini, Natana Rajanikanth, who plays a kleptomaniac, Veera Shankar, Vijayakumar and child artist Dhanya really impress and surely can be groomed further for future roles".[4] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "Ramesh as the sixth-pass genius, husband, disgruntled son and doting father is good. His attempt at learning a different dialect is praiseworthy. Anant Nag, the grizzled, liquor guzzling patriarch caresses each word lovingly. Rajnikant and Vijaykumar provide most of the lighter moments in the film. Baby Nityashree’s innocent look blends in" [5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The dialect is from north Karnataka but it has been kept simple enough for comprehension. The comedy, except, for scenes involving Rajinikanth, is subdued. Thankfully Ricky Kej’s music is not loud and the songs blend with the film. Crazy Kutumba is a film parents would want to take their children to".[6]
