Although faced with a lot of controversies, Laxmii was a movie that everyone was looking forward to watching. So, it wasn’t surprising that when the movie did release, it did gain a lot of popularity from the audience. Not only was Akshay Kumar appraised for the portrayal of a transgender character, but the overall premise of the movie was applauded too.

This isn’t the first time that Moviesflix has indulged in the illegal leaking of such movies, so although the audience is not surprised, they are pretty disappointed as well.
