[5] "Lalettan's[Mohanlal] character Chandrabose is a workaholic who lives abroad, giving more preference to making money in life than anything else.
Then he tries to pass on that message to a group of youngsters from the IT field who are business-minded and chase happiness in a materialistic life", says the director.
[4] Ladies and Gentleman is the first film to capture the Dubai Miracle Garden, where the song and dance sequence of Mohanlal and Meera was shot.
The film brought in ₹ 11.5 crores in satellite, remake, and overseas rights due to the market value of Mohanlal and Siddique.
[13] Smitha of One India praised Mohanlal's acting but criticized the script saying "It is a light-hearted film with many comic situations.
It gets a little bit interesting in the second part, though it goes on downhill very soon", and gave positive remarks to the cinematography, songs, and film score.
Mohanlal, in the lead role as a sluggish inebriated hero with a hidden intent, makes the movie watchable"[17] Aswin J. Kumar of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 and stated "Ladies and Gentleman engage only in sparse moments; courtesy Shajon, who digs up some laughter from a parched narrative.
It's not the celebration of virtues that mars the purpose, but a palpable lack of earnestness with which Siddique moulds his plot developed by ill-shaped characters.
