Reception

edit

A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "While director Raj Surya uses humour generously in the first half, he loses track in the second half where, in a bid to stretch the film’s length, he repeats scenes".[9] A critic from The News Minute opined that "The film tries hard to blend several themes – family, drama, comedy, and motherland sentiment - which leave the audience confused about what to take from the movie. If meaningless comedy isn’t your choice, you can give Lambodhara a miss".[10] A critic from The Times of India stated that "This movie is recommended for those who enjoy monotonous comedy, laced with some motherland sentiment drama".[11]
