Reception

Critical response

[edit]

Sridevi. S of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Bad Manners is raw, rugged and an absolute mix-masala one can only expect from Suri!."[21] Shashiprasad S. M. of The South First gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Though there are no “wow… so elegant, and beautiful” moments in Bad Manners, Suri’s style of making and the renewed version of Abhishek Ambareesh as an actor makes this a worthy watch."[22]

A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "For fans of Suri’s distinctive style and those open to witnessing Abhishek Ambareesh in a different light, this film is a must-watch for action enthusiasts. However, a disclaimer about the portrayal of country-made guns in Bad Manners is essential. Approach it purely as a film experience."[23] Swaroop Kodur of OTTplay gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Bad Manners is a Suri film, no doubt, but this one's far from his best work. As pointed out, the lack of emotional depth in the narrative defeats the film and the filmmaker tries his best to salvage it with the help of some slick action sequences and his unique worldview and making."[24]

Vivek M. V. of The Hindu wrote "Suri’s ‘Bad Manners,’ begins with a gripping portrayal of a town known for making guns, but the actioner soon fizzles out owing to shoddy writing."[25]
