Reception
Critical response
R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Porki is an out and out Darshan film. He doesn't disappoint his fans in the dialogue or action sections, especially in the second half. Sharan provides comic relief at regular and much needed intervals. Lending him support are Sadhu Kokila and Tennis Krishna. Ashish Vidyarthi, who plays cop in Telugu Pokiri, is seen here as mafia king Ali Bhai. Dharma makes his presence felt as a gangster".[7] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Darshan has also put in his best efforts to showcase his dancing skills. But one has to admit that his performance is not up to the mark in the emotional sequence where he loses his father and one of his close friends".[8] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "Yet, it must be said that some of the native sensibilities do not allow vulgarity take over and, would eventually render any such depiction a farce. The actors are perfectly cast. Harikrishna and Krishnakumar offer readymade dry food, with money well-spent. Ashish Vidyarthi has little scope to grate on the nerves and Shobhraj is believable".[9] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Hats off to Darshan for his brilliant performance in action sequences. While Pranitha fails to impress, Devaraj, Dharma and Avinash put up a good show. The comedy tracks of Sharan and Sadhu Kokila are okay. Music by V Harikrishna is average; Krishna Kumar's camerawork is marvellous and dialogues by B A Madhu are impressive".[10] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Music composer’s work is the best element in the film. For some strange reason, the film at times looks like the 3D version of Avatar without the glasses. If you enjoy action films with lots of bullets. this is the film for you".[11]
