Critical reception

Poorna Banerjee of The Times of India rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote "Lokkhikantopur Local is worth a watch if you enjoy multi-character dramas that illuminate the quiet, unseen labour that keeps urban life running." She applauded the slow pace of the first half, the music, the performance of the ensemble cast, particularly Paoli Dam and Chandrayee Ghosh, and the genuine emotions between Kaushik Ganguly and Rituparna Sengupta. But she criticized the faulty editing, the weak screenplay that tackles multiple issues without delving deep in any single one, abrupt narrative turns and oddly placed subplots. Siddhartha Sarkar of News18 rated the film 3.5/5 stars quoted "The history of humanity, society and the world, the director holds up a mirror keeping the nanny-patient party in front, Lokkhikantopur Local should be watched by everyone."
