Release and reception

Jaaji Mallige was released on 3 April 2009.[2] R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, "Jaaji Mallige may please everyone -- those who have watched the original, and those who haven't."[3] The Times of India wrote, "Director R Anantharaju could have done a much better job of this excellent romantic story with lively narration and a neat script."[1] Mid Day wrote, "Though the director Ananthraj has done a decent jog of the screenplay and script, the first half is actually pretty boring."[5] Bangalore Mirror wrote, "Without being overly melodramatic, the director has managed to spin a credible tale. And this is the biggest asset of the film along with the comic scenes involving Komal."[6] IANS wrote, "Jaaji Mallige wins because the director has just followed the original, except for including a little bit of comedy."[7]
