ETimes gives ‘Haiku’ 2.5 stars out of 5

ETimes awarded the film 2.5 stars out of 5. The review observed that its ideas about love and self-respect are not always supported by a protagonist audiences can easily root for.The review stated, "A road trip with a puppy and Adhirchi Arun's wisecracking friend adds texture but little else, and the supporting cast is serviceable. Siddhu Kumar’s music is pleasant and carry the romance’s softer moments well. Visually, Haiku is handsomely made, free of the AI-assisted shortcuts creeping into films lately. A haiku makes its point in three lines. This one gets there eventually, and that counts for something.
