Critical reception[]

Indiaglitz wrote "Lakshmi' is another film for setting nation free from terrorism. The questioning the film does is appropriate to the detractors of this country. The strong base for this film is excellent screenplay loaded with action and surprises that keeps the audience tight on their seats".[4] CNN-IBN mentioned that it is "tailor-made for Shivakumar fans, but still it has many engaging elements to keep family audience happy".[5] Rediff wrote that "The film has nothing much to offer except some stunning images of Hong Kong. Go for it if you want to see the locales of Hong Kong and its skyline".[6]
