Reception

Baradwaj Rangan wrote that "We wouldn’t be able to see our favourite stars if lightmen weren’t around to illuminate them, and yet, these lightmen remain invisible. With this film, they finally step into the limelight".[6] A critic from Maalai Malar wrote that "All in all, 'Lightman' is a light for screen artists".[7] A critic from The Times of India Samayam wrote that the film is "too much 'heavyweight' and 'heavy dose', which are the film's disadvantages".[8]
