Flaws? Certainly. The humour is hit-and-miss. Some cultural touches skim the surface rather than diving deep. And narratively, the film walks such a straight line that surprises are few and far between. Yet, in an era where “romance" often comes camouflaged with explosions, espionage, or superhero capes, the very simplicity of Param Sundari feels radical.

Yatamanyu Narain of News 18 rated it 3/5 stars and said that "Search: The Naina Murder Case is gripping and intriguing in parts, enriched by strong performances and an intelligent premise, but it never quite achieves the narrative cohesion it strives for."

Lakadbaggha gets the tone and the theme right. It’s easy on your head and doesn’t require much of your brainpower to break down what’s unfurling in front of you. It’s worth applauding Victor Mukherjee’s attempt to tell a story with limited characters and a penny-plain approach since stories being made today sometimes fall prey to the misnomer that a movie requires complex elements for it to strike a chord with the audience. Lakadbaggha defies all those notions and delineates a tale that is neither cantankerous nor gaudy. But since it’s too simple, it just couldn’t utilise the copiousness of the potential it had. No matter how fantastic of an idea makers had in their mind, the obvious clichés, predictable plot devices, flawed character traits, ridiculous tropes massively diluted the impact it had set out to achieve(especially towards the climax).
