Reception
Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Some scenes and dialogues, especially the fight for the post of a tractor driver, are incongruous. All in all, the movie is worth a watch if you like crime thrillers."[1] A. Sharadhaa of Cinema Express wrote, "Despite its many strengths, BAD is not without its flaws. It occasionally feels repetitive, as the narrative circles around the same issue. The film’s relatively short duration also means that certain aspects are underdeveloped."[6]
A critic from Asianet News rated the film three out of five.[7] A critic from Udayavani reviewed the film.[8]
