Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is a hilarious movie, but unlike any slapstick comedy. It's a light-hearted film with sensibility, humour and a strong undercurrent of emotion.
-
The comedy keeps you in splits, and isn’t a slapstick one.
-
...is quite unlike the hysterical laugh acts that have been trying terribly hard to make you laugh in recent Bollywood. More of a chuckle-and-a-smirk drama...
-
The light tone keeps you engaged for most of the film, especially the parodied songs. There are a few "aawwww" moments too. But, it is a tiny lecture on the changing value system and gets a little sarcastic.
-
...it's not a laugh riot, but displays comedy with the help of dialogues, situations, and parodies...
-
...a great attempt at the slapstick genre where surprisingly you don’t have to leave brains at home , as is the norm . Though it overstays a bit , its still a fun watch.
-
It's a Paresh Rawal show all the way with Ajay and Konkona providing good support.
-
The story is good, has a good little twist in the end. The director also never tries to make you laugh; it's the situations that leave a smile on your face.
-
What scores is that the film does not have slapstick or in-your-face comedy.
-
The central flaw with the film is its failure to evoke sympathy for the central characters. Having suffered unbearable guests themselves, most viewers will find Chachaji’s antics harmless; even amusing.
-
...a lighthearted entertainer that tickles your funny bone several times in the film.
-
The gentle and soft humor directly touches your heart. If you like the old world charm around your house, the movie is tailor made for you.
-
Predictable and clichéd, Atithi… makes you laugh a few times and a twist ending is definitely a pleasant surprise.
-
...the screenplay is weak, the basic premise engages to a point, after which you hear yourself echoing Puneet and Munmun’s plea: ‘Atithi tum kab jaoge?’ Because once he leaves you know the film will finally end.
-
Finally you aren’t watching a film about family ties but a film that ties up the family in reams and reams of comic chaos. Vulgarity and double-meanings strictly not admissible.
-
With better writing it might have been a crackling piece of comedy. As it is now, it's a reasonably enjoyable weekend watch.
-
...attempts to impart valuable lessons but the comic sugar-coating just doesn't crackle enough.
-
...there’s nothing fresh about Dhir’s film, which employs tired characters and even more tiresome clichés.
-
...a comedy specially tailored for the average Indian family. Thus, everything about the film is average.
-
If the belaboured and sporadic humour thereafter isn’t dull enough, they stuff in so many third-rate songs, you feel a bit of a troubled host yourself.
