Release and reception[edit]
Long Drive was released on 10 February 2023 in India.[1]
Reviewing Long Drive for The Times of India, Harish Basavarajaiah, gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and praising the realism of the story, Arjun Yogi has delivered an even performance, representing the youth. With the right choice of films, he is likely to join the chocolate heroes of Sandalwood. Manjunath is impressive as a rugged villain in his first attempt. Supritha and Tejaswini have done a good job. The movie has limited roles, which is also its biggest plus. Director Sriraj, in his debut attempt, has chosen to tell a story that is common in society. It has translated well on screen. Kitty Koushik's cinematography and music by Vikas Vasishta complement the stories... ".[1]
