== Reception==
A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film two out of five and wrote that "In the end, ''Laandhar'' is a predictable thriller that fails to break new ground but offers some entertainment with its straightforward approach".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/laandhar/movie-review/111165747.cms|title=Laandhar Movie Review : More dim than daring|newspaper=The Times of India|first=Abhinav|last=Subramanian|date=21 June 2024|accessdate=22 February 2025}}</ref> A critic from ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' rated the film two out of five and wrote that "''Laandhar'' fails to leverage the strength of the premise, and the amateur writing debilitates the few positives".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2024/Jun/22/laandhar-movie-review-a-middling-police-procedural-let-down-by-sub-par-writing|title='Laandhar' movie review: A middling police procedural let down by sub-par writing|first=Aswin|last=Devan|date=22 June 2024|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Times Now]]'' wrote that "This Laandhar, which refers to a lantern, isn’t shining bright.
