Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Aadi Lakshmi Puraana is a fun, romcom that does strike that familiar chord. The narrative works for those who like love stories, but a little taut storytelling could have ensured a seamlessly screenplay. Though, the clever subversion of a massy story into a romcom is laudable."[4] Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror gave 3/5 stars and wrote "At two hours, Aadi Lakshmi does not burden your time and does not overwhelm you in any manner."[5] Aravind Shwetha from The News Minute wrote "With its unique, contemporary content and essential entertaining elements, Aadi Lakshmi Purana is a fun watch."[6] A. Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Aadi Lakshmi Purana belongs to the director and makes for a total family entertainer that will cater to all kinds of audience."[7]
