Reception

A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "It is not only the narration that is patchy, even the technical standards are like a B Grade film. There are many scenes that seem to have been shot on a cheap mobile phone and are pixelated on the big screen".^[4] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The plot, if we are to call it that, is like a jigsaw puzzle made of dough. Malleable, it twists and turns according to the whims of the makers, in order to accommodate every little character in every other frame".^[5] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "There are some films that are so bad that they are fun to watch. And then there is a film like S.V. Rajendra Singh Babu’s Rebel which does not fall even into that category".^[6]
