Release

edit

The Times of India gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and wrote that "The comic bits are hardly funny while the thriller elements are barely there".[7] Deccan Chronicle gave the film the same rating and wrote that "Though the script had all the potential to make it an interesting movie, a lacklustre writing and incoherent screenplay turns Bodha an ordinary fare".[1] The New Indian Express stated that "Bodha is a film about money and what people do for it. It's too bad the film isn't good enough to justify the money you part with to see it".[8] Vikatan criticized the screenplay, the cinematography, and the background music.[9][10]
