Reception
'The News Minute' wrote "The actors rise to the occasion, each one delivering a sincere performance, but the flawed script lets them down".
According to Alix Turner of 'Ready Steady Cut', the film is "[w]ell made, and with a strong lead, though the writing and direction could do with a little polish, Lilli is a grittier and bloodier film than we're used to setting from India".
