==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".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/lakshmi-kannada-movie-review-13003.html|title=Lakshmi review.
