The general feeling is that The Villain is a decent film and it does full justice to Sudeep's ‘mass hero' image. However, Shivanna's fans are not too happy about the film as the actor has a smaller role compared to Deepanna. Some fans have also pointed out that the screenplay is a bit ‘illogical. As such, the WOM is mixed. And, this seems to one of the reasons behind the drop in the collections.
