Reception
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.[8] B. Anuradha from Webindia123 opined that "His [R. V. Suresh's] disjointed and repetitive screenplay dilutes the interesting point, over which he perhaps wanted to provoke a discussion" but praised Srikanth's performance.[9][10] Kishore from Nowrunning opined that "The plot is good. But possessiveness of Srikanth could have been shown more vividly. There are a few loose ends like Vadde Naveen getting away from an accident scratch free. He [sic] climax could have been made more interesting".[11] A critic from Indiaglitz praised Chakri's music, Srikanth's performance and the story.[12]
