Production
This is the second directorial venture of Gireesh Mulimani, who made his debut with the 2017 film Raajaru.[3] Gireesh shared his idea with M. Munegowda, which led Munegowda to venture into producing this film under the banner SVC Films.[4][5] On 12 January 2022, it was reported that Pramod and Pruthvi Ambaar would collaborate with director Gireesh on an untitled project.[6] Initially, the crew planned to begin filming in March with a sixty-day single schedule,[7] but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] In June 2022, it was reported that Rachel David and Rachana Rai would play the female leads, and filming was expected to commence in July.[9][10] However, Rachana Rai did not join the project due to her commitments to other films and scheduling conflicts.[11]

Reception
A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Despite its ambitious concept, Bhuvanam Gaganam struggles to fully deliver on its potential. Director Gireesh Mulimani attempts to merge the contrasting narratives of Abhi and Nandini's love story and Ram's emotional journey, but the resolution feels anticlimactic. The film doesn't provide the emotional punch that its themes suggest, leaving viewers with a sense of coldness at its conclusion."[15] Shashiprasad SM of Times Now gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "While the film explores love and relationships, wrapped in a few special moments, Bhuvanam Gaganam falls short of delivering a truly special experience—except for the ending."[16]
Sridevi S. of The Times of India gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Director Girish Mulimani succeeds in blending two stories with a common theme of love. The film has some special, heartwarming moments towards the end, but as a whole, delivers only a very ordinary experience."[17]
