Release and reception
[edit]The film was released on 7 February 2003 alongside Border.[3]
A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "The film ‘Ninendre Ishta’ is a torturous film from the beginning. The scenes are so disjointed that it would leave an impression that the editor of this film has taken a long nap while using his scissors. Story by Thulasikumar has also reached the final stage in love story it seems".[4] Srikanth of Deccan Herald wrote "Yet another mindless campus story. Both the film-makers as well as the audience need to take a break from campus stories. The scenes in the film look so illogical and out of place that one can easily go to sleep while watching the movie. Producer Gopal has sunk some unnecessary money into this project. The scenes suffer from a lack of continuity and dramatisation. When it comes to mouthing the dialogues, the artistes have nothing meaningful".[5]
