IMDb gave the film 5.7 out ofstars. Indiaglitz gave the filmout ofstars and said V V Vinayaks direction is on safe lines. He keeps to the linear path, without taking any chances. He knows whom he is catering to and delivers what he promised. Jeevi of idlebrain.com gave the filmout ofstars and said First half of the film is OK and the scenes before interval are good. The second half divulges into a entirely different flashback episode. There are certain good moments in the film and has got orientation towards masses and family crowds. However, the VV Vinayak could not blend in Venkateshs family image and Vinayaks mass taking in a smooth way. The biggest advantage of this film is that Lakshmi is the only mass film for the entire season of Sankranthi which gives good market penetration in C and D centers as well in the first week itself.The film was released in 316 screens, including 284 in Andhra Pradesh,in Karnataka,in Mumbai,in Orissa,in Chennai, andoverseas.
