Reception
A critic from Viggy wrote that "Overall, Lankesh Patrike is a typical commercial film with fantasy coated realism".[8] India Info wrote "Indrajeet knows very well that just this storyline wont work. For this very reason, he has brought in glamour doll, Vasundara Das. Some masala scenes and of course some songs shot in posh locations. It has the elements but the very base of the film is hollow".[9]
