Reception
A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "This film has shades of the Hindi make Deewana. Beware, only shades of that story. The rest of it is in ‘TV serial’ mode". A critic from The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "Director could have done a better job of this sentimental story with good script and neat narration". A critic from IANS wrote that "'Prema Chandrama' is another amateurish attempt of Shinde that has gone haywire because of a bad script".
