Reception Susmita Sameera of The Times of India said that "Karikaada presents an ambitious reincarnation-based story filled with action and drama, backed by several interesting ideas. Unfortunately, the disrupted flow and uneven storytelling prevent it from reaching its full potential. Viewers who enjoy rural dramas with romantic action elements may still find it worth a watch, provided they are willing to navigate its narrative complexity." A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express said that "Karikaada is likely to connect with audiences who enjoy the blend of action, melodrama, and rural appeal. For urban audiences or those seeking coherent storytelling and strong character arcs, the film may feel patchy. While Kada Nataraj and Niriksha Shetty show promise, and the supporting cast performs competently, the film struggles to turn its ambitious idea into a satisfying cinematic experience."
