Reception

Critical response

Tagaru Palya received positive reviews from critics with praise for its plot, cast performances, technical aspects and cinematography.

Pranati A S of Deccan Herald gave 4/5 stars and wrote "The comedy is loud but keeps one enthralled throughout. Extra marks to Vasuki Vaibhav for playing a city IT boy — although exaggerated, it sends you on an unapologetic laughing riot."[11] Harish Basavarajaiah of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Tagarupalya has all the right ingredients and can be savoured by the family audience too! What more? It also takes you on a nostalgic trip to your native village."[12] Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror gave 3.5/5 stars, describe the film as "Family Drama" and praised the film for "featuring a diverse range of characters who provide ample comic relief."[13]

Shashiprasad S. M. of The South First gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Tagaru Palya is fresh and unique for its content and can be happily watched with your family members, including children."[14] Vivek. M. V. of The Hindu wrote "Despite natural performances from Nagabhushana and Tara, Tagaru Palya is wrecked by a generic approach from director Umesh K Krupa."[15] Subha. J. Rao of The News Minute termed it as "a delicious rural drama filled with realistic characters."[16]
