== Plot ==<br />
The story centers around the events that take place among the members of the Chitre family who have considerable political influence in the state of [[Maharashtra]]. Yashwant Chitre is an influential political leader in the state but there seems to be somebody who does not approve of his leadership skills. A conspiracy to eliminate Yashwant from this game of political chess is planned and the narrative expertly takes us through the process that eventually leads to the assassination of Yashwant Chitre, played by Sameer Dharmadhikari and its unravelling by his daughter Ira played by Tejashree Pradhan. <br />

== Critical response ==<br />
Sanjay Ghaware of ''[[Lokmat]]'' rated 3 stars out of 5, pointing out that while Lokshahi "attempts to explore political themes, it becomes entangled in dynastic politics rather than focusing solely on democratic principles.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-02-09 |title=Lokshahi movie review: घराणेशाहीच्या पटलावर कोण जिंकणार डाव? |url=https://www.lokmat.com/filmy/reviews/tejashri-pradhan-maratho-movie-loksahi-review-a-a838-c734/ |access-date=2024-04-27 |website=[[Lokmat]] |language=mr}}</ref> Anub George of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "A well-shot film that suffers due to bad editing."<ref>{{Cite news |title=Lokshahi Movie Review : A well-shot film that suffers due to bad editing |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movie-reviews/lokshahi/movie-review/107555321.cms |access-date=2024-04-27 |work=[[The Times of India]] |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> Jaydeep Pathakaji of ''[[Maharashtra Times]]'' rated 2 stars out of 5 and suggests that the film fails to fully captivate its audience due to these shortcomings.<ref>{{Cite web |title=मराठी इंडस्ट्रीतले तगडे कलाकार असलेला 'लोकशाही' सिनेमा आहे तरी कसा? |url=https://marathi.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/lokshahi/moviereview/107584176.cms |access-date=2024-04-27 |website=[[Maharashtra Times]] |language=mr}}</ref> Jyoti Venkatesh of ''[[Cine Blitz]]'' rated 2 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "The film, to put it in a nutshell, sets out to shed light on the complexities of navigating political and social landscapes even while addressing a complex theme of social justice and reform."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Lokshahi Marathi Movie Review: Intriguingly complex theme |url=https://cineblitz.in/review/lokshahi-marathi-movie-review-intriguingly-complex-theme/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=[[Cine Blitz]]}}</ref><br />
