Reception A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Over all, Ayya is what they call a timepass movie". SND of Deccan Herald wrote "There are loads of action scenes and the dialogues are catchy. There are also some references to the nexus between politicians and rowdies. The director has worked hard to include all important 'masala' ingredients to attract audiences to the film, especially Darshan’s fans".
Legacy The dialogue "Naan convent alli odi police agiddalla. Corporation school alli odi police aagiddu" (Means, "I have not become a police officer by studying in the convent, I am a police officer who studied in corporation school"), became popular in Karnataka.
