Critical response 

B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "The artwork and background score also add to the mood. Dialogues, co-written by J M Prahlad and the director himself, sometimes do stray towards turning preachy, but that’s it. Prarthane is a bold film in times of wanton neglect of legacies built with blood and sweat. Will those concerned hear this prayer though?" A critic from News18 India wrote "Veera Samarth gives a good background score for the film and the song "Jayabharathi" is soothing to ears. Camera work is average. Prarthane is a really good attempt and deserves to be encouraged". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "Sudha Murty makes a disastrous film debut. Her plea for Kannada medium schools, that forms part of the climax, is nothing short of a histrionic equivalent of hara-kiri. Unable to dub fluently, she makes a mess of her role. The main problem of the film is a weak script and even the background score which, at some places, sounds like the ‘bits’ inserted in seedy morning shows". References
