Review
Critics gave Lakadbaggha’s movie mixed reviews.
Despite many shortcomings, Lakadbaggha will amuse you with its meticulousness, unique narrative, and excellent acting, according to CNN-News18’s Yatamanyu Narain, who scored it three out of five stars.
The Hindu’s Anuj Kumar stated that although the combat scenes are powerful and the objectives are good, the narration style is unprofessional and requires too much viewer suspension of disbelief.
The Telegraph’s Sameer Salunkhe described the Anshuman Jha film Lakadbaggha as an action film reminiscent of a comic book with a hint of romance.
The Times of India’s Archika Khurana rated it with two out of five stars and stated that ‘Lakadbaggha’ had a lot of potential overall, but its poor execution made it a merely adequate movie.
Lakadbaggha received a 1.5 out of 5-star rating from Rediff user Deepa Gahlot, who claimed that the movie takes on too many issues and fails to sufficiently solve them.
