Reception
editArchana Nathan from The Hindu says "The filmmaker even manages to showcase the drug-induced trip through his camera work but with such a shoddy script and a murderer Bhangiranga as its son of god, the film is difficult to sit through".[6] A Shardhaa from The New Indian Express said "Though true to everybody’s life, Ring Master misses all opportunities to connect morally or emotionally with the audience".[7] A reviewer from Deccan Herald wrote "The film lacks finesse and turns out head splitting affair, never really engaging or entertaining, despite visible technical polish. It leaves expectant audiences a highly frustrated lot at the end of an excruciating show".[2] Shyam Prasad S. from Bangalore Mirror says "It would have been great if the film was an original. It is still good. What is bad is claiming credit for ‘creating’ the film".[8]
