Reception
The Times of India paper rated 3/5 and wrote "Comedian Sujay Shastry makes his debut as a director with Gubbi Mele Brahmastra. He does a decent job and also hints at a possible sequel to this film. While one has seen blatant slapstick humour and loads of double entendres in Kannada comedy films, this one has a tad more cleaner approach to the genre.Raj B Shetty seems to have an extension of his character from Ondu Motteya Kathe and he shines. Sujay, as Raj's pessimistic philosopher friend, is a hoot. Each of the cast member seems to be carefully picked. Be it Girish Shivanna as the comical inspector or Pramod Shetty as the costume wearing don, they all shine. Though, at times the gags are dragged a bit. But, for those who like comedy, Gubbi Mele Brahmastra is going to be a treat, as it is reminiscent of some of the classics from the 80s and 90s."[7] [8][9]
