While the trailer of the film had left the Kannada audience intrigued, Kabzaa couldn’t create enough buzz in the North.

Another wrote, “WHY ALL PAN-INDIA FILMS FROM SOUTH, LOOK AND FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME NOW??.”
A movie buff is quite impressed by the film’s production value. “#Kabzaa has very good production value, set design & DOP is top notch – all are commendable but…script work, characters detailing, screenplay & mainly editing couldn’t utilized it to the fullest,” read his tweet. Sudeep and Upendra’s entry scenes are said to be the highlights. Shriya Saran’s role is equally being praised. Kabzaa has music composed by KGF’s Ravi Basrur.
