Critical response
Sanjay Ghaware of Lokmat rated 3 stars out of 5 stars and pointing out that while the film "Lokshahi" ({{Translation|Democracy}}) attempts to explore political themes, it becomes entangled in dynastic politics rather than focusing solely on democratic principles.{{Cite web |date=2024-02-09 |title=Lokshahi movie review: घराणेशाहीच्या पटलावर कोण जिंकणार डाव? |url=https://www.lokmat.com/filmy/reviews/tejashri-pradhan-maratho-movie-loksahi-review-a-a838-c734/ |access-date=2024-04-27 |website=Lokmat |language=mr}} Anub George of The Times of India rated 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "A well-shot film that suffers due to bad editing."{{Cite news |title=Lokshahi Movie Review : A well-shot film that suffers due to bad editing |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movie-reviews/lokshahi/movie-review/107555321.cms |access-date=2024-04-27 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}} Jaydeep Pathakaji of Maharashtra Times rated 2 stars out of 5 and suggests that the film fails to fully captivate its audience due to these shortcomings.{{Cite web |title=मराठी इंडस्ट्रीतले तगडे कलाकार असलेला 'लोकशाही' सिनेमा आहे तरी कसा? |url=https://marathi.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/lokshahi/moviereview/107584176.cms |access-date=2024-04-27 |website=Maharashtra Times |language=mr}} Jyoti Venkatesh of Cine Blitz rated 2 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "The film, to put it in a nutshell, sets out to shed light on the complexities of navigating political and social landscapes even while addressing a complex theme of social justice and reform."{{Cite web |title=Lokshahi Marathi Movie Review: Intriguingly complex theme |url=https://cineblitz.in/review/lokshahi-marathi-movie-review-intriguingly-complex-theme/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Cine Blitz}}
