With a good script and excellent narration, the director has made the movie interesting not only for the class but also for the mass audience."^[3] Shyam Prasad. S of Bangalore Mirror gave the film a 4.5/5 rating and wrote, "With just a handful of characters, Jatta dabbles with and intertwines various topics like feminism, male chauvinism, religious intolerance, adultery, Ambedkar-isms, corruption and cultural beliefs; all of which are dealt with in a simple yet engrossing narrative." He concluded by praising the role of all the departments in the film including directing, acting, cinematography and music.
