In his review for NDTV, Raja Sen writes: "The importance of a solid supporting cast cannot be overstated. Ranjit Tiwari's Lucknow Central, a film about prisoners who form a band - a surprisingly popular theme this season - can be called engaging only because it is populated by very good character actors." However, about the film's climax, he adds: "It feels like it's taking place in slow motion, and because these scenes are set to a musical performance in the backdrop, the scenes put us in a fresh hell where the Selfie Le Le song never bl**dy ends."

Lucknow Central features Diana Penty as an NGO worker and also stars Gippy Grewal and Deepak Dobriyal in pivotal roles.

Farhan Akhtar also featured in a cameo role in Arjun Rampal's Daddy, which released last week.
