Reception
Karthik Keramulu of Film Companion stated "LOL Salaam is a comedy that can be consumed in bits and pieces" and added that LOL Salaam doesn’t work hard. It works smartly, albeit in tightly controlled portions. [5] A critic from Pinkvilla gave it a rating of 2 stars out of 5 and quoted it as a survival comedy where nothing lands.[6]
Another critic, writing to LetsOTT said that "LOL Salaam is a starts off as a comedy caper as gang of 6 men land neck-deep in trouble and it switches templates in a rather hurried manner."[7] A critic from NTV wrote that "‘LOL Salaam’ lacks emotional heft. A comedy like this would still have been watchable had the hilarity been weighty enough. But it’s all dry and one-note."[8]
