Reception
= Critical response
=A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "It is astonishing how a producer with experience and an actor with such mass following could agree to this project. There is nothing closely resembling a story or screenplay. The director has managed to make a film that would neither benefit the producer or enthuse Ganesh’s fans. Except for some decent music by Devi Sriprasad, the film falls flat in all other aspects". R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "Golden Star' Ganesh's new film 'Sangama' does not boast of a fresh story. The movie's theme doesn't have any innovative elements, but it has appealing music and a great performance by Ganesh". A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Nothing exceptional can be said about Sekhar Chandru's photography, though Devi's music still make the film worth a watch. All in all, Sangama ends up as an ordinary fare because of a weak story and ill conceived narration". A critic from Sify wrote that "A tolerable and passable film from Golden star Ganesh for this Diwali festival is strictly for family viewing".
Box office
The movie had a good box office run initially in spite of negative reviews from critics.
