==Release and reception==

Writing for ''The New Indian Express'', A. Sharadhaa wrote, "A contemporary family drama, Luv U Alia does not come across as a mishmash of characters, but has a streamlined narration that takes you through the nuances of love, marriage and divorce." She added, "Indrajit has created situational set pieces that do justice to the  ensemble star cast and backdrops... Cinematographer Santhosh Rai Pathaje has followed Indrajit's narrative perfectly. Even Ravi Shankar comes across as a cool antagonist and brings out the lighter side of his character." and further wrote, "While senior actors like Ravichandran and Bhoomika seem quite comfortable with their roles, it is the young Chandan who makes the most out of this romantic family drama."<ref name="tnie1"/> Reviewing the film for ''[[The Hindu]]'', Archana Nathan calling the film "flamboyant but vacuous", wrote, "With every frame, Indrajit constructs a specific kind of spectacle — an upper class, glossy one full of revving bikes, exotic locations and five star hotels. However, there is very little strength in the script of the film to carry these grand frames successfully until the end."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Nathan|first1=Archana|title=Luv U Alia: It's flamboyant but vacuous|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/luv-u-alia-its-flamboyant-but-vacuous/article7668303.ece|newspaper=The Hindu|accessdate=20 September 2015|date=19 September 2015}}</ref> Shyam Prasad S. of ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' rated the film three out of five, and wrote, "Luv U Alia is a visual extravaganza; colourful with eye candy" and added, "The first half of the film is a comedy shouldered by Ravishankar as a bumbling don. It is in the second half that the real story between Ravichandran and Bhoomika opens up. But here the comedy of Sadhu Kokila and Shakeela is a drag and the film would have done without it and made the second half a lot crispier."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Prasad S.|first1=Shyam|title=Movie Review: Luv U Alia|url=http://www.bangaloremirror.com/entertainment/reviews/Movie-Review-Luv-U-Alia/articleshow/49015908.cms|website=Bangalore Mirror|accessdate=20 September 2015}}</ref>

S. Viswanath of ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' also rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "Lankesh highlights how personal egos and overt professional pursuits drive otherwise perfect couples to divorce, the marital discord having an impact on the children of such marriages." He concluded writing, "The comic interludes are horrendous and the romantic bits reprehensible" and criticized the performance of the cast.<ref>{{cite web|first1=S. |last=Viswanath|title=Of enticements and estrangements|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/501599/of-enticements-estrangements.html|website=Deccan Herald|accessdate=20 September 2015}}</ref> Shashiprasad S. M. of ''[[Deccan Chronicle]]'' rated the film 2/5 and wrote, "Regardless of the outcome, every frame the director has captured through his cinematographer looks like a beautiful painting worth preserving it with a frame." He concluded criticizing the film's "unsavory comedy" and further wrote, "[t]hough the director’s good intention looks good talking about the sensitive issue such as divorce and its repercussion on the child but unfortunately it does not feel good after more than hours of experience."<ref>{{cite web|author=Shashiprasad S.
