Critic reviews and ratings
-
...hardcore mass entertainer...
-
The film is meant to showcase the Deol charisma. And that it manages to do, despite a clumsy first-half and a stodgy script.
-
The right dose of action, drama and comedy, combined with a fine story...
-
A solid second half resurrects YPD from becoming a lampooned version of just another slapstick.
-
...the potboiler film has enough one-liners, item songs and action sequences to keep you kind of entertained, in a drunk, bustling Punjabi manner.
-
It may not be the slickest film around, but it's got the emotions and the laughs.
-
...a comedy that keeps us smiling till the last breathless moment of hilarious havoc.
-
...only intermittently funny and extremely exhausting.
-
...exhausting but occasionally enjoyable comedy that only takes flight after intermission.
-
It's baffling how a film can manage to give you a cerebrally painful first half and then dish out a totally slapstick, but really funny second half.
-
Above average entertainer.
-
...a tiresome watch.
-
Over-the-top, no-head-nor-tail, senselessness served in the name of unpretentious cinema.
-
...the film's second half does rustle up a few scenes of momentum, but this is a nearly three-hour film and we all deserve better. As do the Deols.
-
To enjoy the peculiarly Punjabi flavour of this film, you have to let go of little things like inhibitions.
-
...unfunny, dull and dreary...
-
...the loudest set of dialogues and the most vacuous set of characters we've been confronted with in a while.
-
...a very bad film, with just a few moments of warmth and humour to keep it afloat...
-
Dharmendra is 75. Given no surgical help, he looks it. Sunny Deol is 54. He doesn’t act it. Their audiences moved on a while ago. Evidently, they never did...
