Review

The film generally received positive reviews from critics especially for Samaresh Routray. FullOrissa gave it 3 out of 5 and commented "It seems like Samaresh has shared this script with Sushant Mani only for winning an award in the next upcoming celebrity award shows. Sushant Mani as usual have done a great job in Luchakali. The movie is technically well driven, The Thrillers in this movie are one of its type in Oriya Movie Industry. ".[7] Odisha Today mentioned " Director Sushant Mani, who is also written the script, made few experiment in the plot to give a different taste, a suspense thriller."[8] The New Indian Express quoted "The movie has a lot of special effects to keep the thrill quotient up. Even as the movie scores high on technical aspects, there are some loose ends to the music. Compared to Sushant’s previous hit Chocolate, the music in Luchakali is slow. The film’s music has been scored by Anbu Selvan who happens to be the guitarist of A R Rahman. Goodly Rath’s soulful musical touch in Sushant’s Chocolate is missing this time."[9]
