Reception

A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Although curiosity simmers around the film because of its title and the presence of Bollywood actress Isha Koppikar as the protagonist, it successfully manages to get rid of your curiosity within the first few frames of the film".[7] A critic from The Times of India rated the film 1+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Director Girish Kamplapur's attempt to churn out a thriller by keeping a bank robbery as the theme falls flat. Perhaps, if he had concentrated more on robbery operation and on investigative angle it might been a better watch".[8] A critic from The News Minute wrote "Looty sets a new standard for how to make a bad film. Director Girish Kamplapur's attempt to bring out a comedy thriller falls flat in every category. The story lacks intensity, the actors look tired and drained and the joke is on us for paying money to watch the film. The little said about the music, the better".[9]
