  • Times of India critics gave 2.5 star out of 5 star and writes that “Shefali is brilliant, debutant Monali expresses with her beautiful eyes. Kapoor and Kaushik are average and Nagesh doesn’t push his performance too far.Lakshmi’s story makes your heart bleed. If you have the courage, watch it.”
  • Anupama Chopra from Hindustan times stated that “Lakshmi is effective but brutally disturbing, Lakshmi is heartfelt and has some fine performances by Monali, Satish Kaushik and Shifaali Shah. However, In places, it’s repulsive and, yet, it demands to be seen.”
