## Reception

[edit]

Bengaluru Underworld, a Kannada action flick, stirred up a variety of critical takes upon its release. Vijaya Karnataka found it a gritty dive into the city’s underbelly, praising the raw energy but hinting at a lack of polish in its storytelling.[7] The New Indian Express was far less impressed, slamming it as "as under as it can get," with a chaotic plot and uninspired execution that failed to rise above mediocrity.[8] Prajavani took a middle ground, noting the film’s bold attempt to portray Bengaluru’s darker side, though it felt the narrative stumbled under its own ambition.[9] Meanwhile, The Times of India gave it a lukewarm 2.5 out of 5, crediting the action sequences and Aditya’s presence but docking points for a predictable script that didn’t fully grip.[10]
