A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "With some better performances, direction and camerawork, Adilakshmi might have been a better movie. It actually was a better movie – in the form of Deewangee, whose copy it is" and called Srikanth "the only saving grace.{{cite web |title=Adi Lakshmi Review |url=https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/adi-lakshmi/telugu/adi-lakshmi-movie-reviews-1972-2.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220131034215/https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/adi-lakshmi/telugu/adi-lakshmi-movie-reviews-1972-2.html |archive-date=31 January 2022 |access-date=11 May 2022 |website=Full Hyderabad}} B.
