Reception
=Critical response=
A critic from Deccan Chronicle wrote "The calendar girl Akanksha Puri looks beautiful but immature script and the making is the culprit here. For a true fan of sahasa simha Vishnu sir, the best way to watch Lodde is to stay awake in the beginning and after the climax for the Lodde song".{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/150801/entertainment-sandalwood/article/movie-review-lodde-nothing-right |title=Movie review: In 'Lodde' nothing is right! |date=1 August 2015|work=Deccan Chronicle|access-date=25 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200918172604/https://www.deccanchronicle.com/150801/entertainment-sandalwood/article/movie-review-lodde-nothing-right |archive-date=18 September 2020}} Sunanya Suresh from The Times of India wrote "Watch this film only if you are a Komal fan. The Vishnuvardhan fans could rather revisit an old DVD and enjoy the thrills".{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/lodde/movie-review/48419984.cms |title=Lodde Movie Review |date=16 May 2016|work=The Times of India|access-date=25 October 2023|url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231025140728/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/lodde/movie-review/48419984.cms?from=mdr |archive-date=25 October 2023}} Shyam Prasad S from Bangalore Mirror says "Komal has given the film his best but this is still a story that Jaggesh did 20 years ago. Newcomer Akanksha has enough charm and acting abilities. Lodde could be your last resort".{{Cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/lodde/articleshow/48299708.cms |title=Film Review: Lodde |date=31 July 2015|work=Bangalore Mirror|access-date=25 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231025141328/https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/drishyam/articleshowajax/48296821.cms?version=18&enforceseoatarticle=0&lastarticle=48217191&photocount=9&photoexclude=6 |archive-date=25 October 2023}}
