Reception
A critic from CNN-News18 wrote that "Lakadbaggha will entertain you with its scrupulousness, an out-of-the-ordinary plot and top-notch performances.".[4] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Though not bad, a few more drafts would have turned this wild idea with myriad possibilities into a compelling watch for teenagers and their parents".[5] A critic from The Telegraph wrote that "Anshuman Jha-starrer Lakadbaggha is a comic book-style action movie with a dash of romance".[6] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "In Lakadbaggha Anshuman Jha of ‘LSD (Love Sex Aur Dhokha)’ fame has flawlessly portrayed a vigilante. He looks like the boy next door, but he executes several hand-to-hand combat action sequences with finesse.".[7] A critic from Rediff wrote that "Lakadbaggha takes up too many issues and does not do justice to them".[8]
