Reception
Critical response
A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Nikhitha has done a neat job. Sadhu Kokila, Sangeetha, and Sathyajith have done a good job. V Sridhar's music has catchy tunes. Camerawork by Anil Xavier is okay".[1] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "V Sridhar’s music is good, in patches. Unnecessary splicing of frames and frequent close-ups mar Anil Xavier’s work. Ramesh Pandit and Satyajit are good initially but every other comedy track prolongs boredom and snatches away interest from the viewer. After ‘Kutumba’ and ‘Gowramma’, ‘Dubai Babu’ comes as an unpleasant surprise".[2] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "From being unbelievable at first, the film turns out to be a farce by the end. There are a couple of good songs. But these alone are not reason enough to visit a cinema hall. And be warned not to venture into Kapali cinema hall, the ‘main theatre’ for this film. The roof leaks".[3] R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "original songs by music director and lyricist Mussanje Sridhar. The lyrics and song picturisation of Bachchio, Dhochiko, Pe Pe Pe Dum Dum and Bendakaloora Gowda deserve special mention. The background score is equally effective. Cameraman Anil Xavier has handled his job with competence, scoring well in the song picturisations. All in all, Dubai Babu is a full length entertainer. Enjoy".[4] A critic from Sify.com wrote "V Sridhar has three mass numbers for this mass entertainer of Upendra. All the three songs are shot well and edited well. Cinematographer Anil Jhaveri has done a nice job. Nothing worthwhile yet a film for the masses".[5]
