Lal Salaam received negative responses upon its release. “Lal Salaam is a film with noble intentions but is wary of what it has to say. The drama also becomes an oblong narration with blotched editing and an erratic screenplay. Lal Salaam is honest but is marred by weak choices,” read the OTTplay review of the film.
