Upon its release, Bagheera earned decent reviews from fans, movie lovers and critics. The movie which was a sensation at the box office, finally made its streaming debut.
Bagheera became the highest-grossing Kannada film of the year with a box office collection of over Rs 29 Crore against a budget of Rs 20 Crore. Rukmini Vasanth played the female lead in the movie which has several notable actors in supporting roles. Sriimurali underwent an elaborate transformation for the movie and the makers have also promoted Bagheera across the Telugu states. Despite the names of Hombale Films and Prashanth Neel associated with Bagheera, the movie couldn't repeat the original version's magic.
