Reception[]
Times of India critic Sunayana Suresh rated the film 3/5 and called it an "old school romance": "Rider is a film that could have been a good romantic tale, but the excessive masala fare makes it fall short of that, especially with its extended climax sequence", Suresh added.[2] On the technical side, A Sharadhaa of Cinema Express wrote: "Rider has rich production quality, and the lavish locations add to the feel of the film. Both the music by Arjun Janya and cinematography by Shreesha Kuduvalli elevate the film."[3]
Deccan Herald's Jagadish Angadi felt it a "messy romantic tale" and stated, "Rider reminds us of an inexperienced boy riding a bike on the highway with massive speed, unaware of his destination."[4] Writing for Kannada Prabha, Priya Kerwashe gave a positive review for the film, appreciating the performances and entertainment quotient.[5]
