Release and reception

The film was released on 13 February 2011. Upon release, the film received widespread critical acclaim. A review from the Sun praised the performance of cast and the film's "realism" in its language, characters and their attitude.[1] Saluting the production team for making this attempt, they wrote: "Loodhifa is a very realistic bold movie which represents the dark side of our community today taking a good advantage of the concept".[1] However, it was criticised for its length; "some scenes can be easily cut off. Beside the editing, there is nothing imperfect about the film to be noted".[1]
