Reception


The film was received positively with the audience liking the fact that it addressed concerns about privacy and adult content on the web. Malayalam director Vineeth Sreenivasan said "There are so many things I wanted to say about this film. In fact, if the movie was released already, I would have written in detail. For now, I' ll just say this... this film needs to be seen by today's internet-savvy generation. It is relevant, gritty, honest, and it haunts."[4] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion wrote "Lens is a refreshingly grown-up film...not only does it deal with a grown-up subject, it also refuses to infantilise the audience by treating its points as messages. Lens understands that a movie isn’t a pharmacological product: pop one and cure a social ill. It lays out problems without the comfort of easy solutions."[5]
