Critic consensus
Critical reception for Love Lottery is mildly positive, with most reviewers finding it a watchable but imperfect thriller. Akshay Oberoi's performance and the film's sustained central mystery draw consistent praise, and several critics single out the first half for its effective suspense. The second half draws the most criticism, with reviewers pointing to a sluggish courtroom section, convenient plot turns, and gender commentary that lacks depth. One dissenting voice found the film dull throughout, arguing it fails to generate the tension expected of a murder mystery.

Love Lottery is more than just a murder mystery or courtroom drama. It explores marital relationships, broken trust, legal procedures, media trials and men's rights from a particular perspective. Arvind Pandey attempts to combine a serious and sensitive subject with entertainment, and the film succeeds to a considerable extent in that endeavour.

Love Lottery's first half wins over the audience and Akshay Oberoi strengthens this grip with his performance. In the second half, that tautness doesn't remain, the courtroom drama drags a bit. Still, the film has enough suspense that you will want to know till the end who the killer is.
“'लव लॉटरी' का पहला हाफ बाजी मारता है और अक्षय ओबेरॉय इस पकड़ को अपने अभिनय से मजबूत करते हैं। दूसरे हाफ में वही कसाव नहीं रह जाता, कोर्टरूम ड्रामा थोड़ा खिंचता है। फिर भी फिल्म में इतना सस्पेंस है कि आप अंत तक यह जानना चाहेंगे कि कातिल कौन है।”Film review ·
Love Lottery is a suspense film that attempts to interweave relationships, suspicion and a legal battle with a murder story. While it's not a perfect murder mystery, Akshay Oberoi's performance and the film's central mystery manage to elevate it above average.
Film review ·
Love Lottery is a reasonably engaging thriller that combines marital drama, courtroom proceedings and social commentary with mixed results. Its performances and succession of twists keep it watchable, while its first-half suspense is particularly effective. However, uneven pacing, convenient turns and simplistic gender commentary prevent it from becoming a more layered examination of its subject.
Film review ·
On the whole, Love Lottery is a dull fare. His narration lacks the thrill and fire of a murder mystery, and once the drama becomes boring, the audience are not even excited about knowing the murderer.
