Reception

Writing for Sangai Express, Akoijam opined that this was one of the films in which Olen "gave a measured and convinincing performance". The writer added that Manda "gave a life time performance in the film Lallasi Pal, a run for her money. Manda’s performance in the said film is an exemplar of how one enters under the skin of the character. Indeed, Manda is not Manda but Leihao in Lalasi Pal".

Accolades

Olen won the award for Best Actor - Male at the Festival of Manipur Cinema in 2007.
