Akshay Kumar's 'Laxmii' flooded with 1-star rating on IMDb

Directed by Raghava Lawrence, Laxmii has failed to impress viewers.

At the time of writing, the film's rating stood at 2.2 out of 10 stars on IMDb.

It has been rated by more than 24,000 users, out of which over 17,000 (nearly 70% of the users) have given it a single star rating.

However, after getting released on Disney+ Hotstar on Monday, Laxmii received the streaming platform's biggest opening ever. The movie also broke the viewership record, previously held by Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer Dil Bechara.

"It is heartening to know that audiences from across the country logged on to Disney+ Hotstar VIP to watch the movie within hours of its release," Akshay said in a statement.

Even as Laxmii has been rated poorly on IMDb, it has still managed to score better than Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt-starrer Sadak 2, that released in August.

Directed by Mahesh Bhatt, Sadak 2 received flak by viewers over nepotism row and scored a measly 1.1/10 on IMDb.

The movie was also bashed by critics for its bizarre storyline, poor acting and weak screenplay.

Talking about Laxmii, the movie has been labeled cliched, dull, tiresome and problematic by fans and critics.

In our review of the film, we wrote, "The only sigh of relief is that it is a digital release, and digital platforms luckily have the option to fast-forward. Without a doubt, Laxmii is one of the worst Bollywood films in recent years."
