Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a beautifully textured love story that wins you over.
-
This is a lark, a goofy film where you know what's going to happen but where you enjoy watching it unfold.
-
This is a film that's very much like the cold coffee our protagonists enjoy. Enjoyable, cool and good while it lasts.
-
Predictable in most parts, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania entertains you from the first frame to the last one.
-
...has plenty of feel-good moments, but nothing that will leave you punch-drunk. For romantics who believe in their dils and their dulhanias.
-
Barring the climax, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania is a delightful film which shouldn't be missed.
-
...this one is a fun one-time watch for sure. Like any honest celebration of our filmy spirit.
-
Peppered with real characters, everyday humour and a little drama, Humpty Sharma… manages to be a thoroughly enjoyable fare that leaves a sweet aftertaste.
-
...keeps afloat due to some smart lines and breezy humour, and the camaraderie between its two endearing leads, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.
-
...a romcom perfect for cuddling up with your loved one in the irresistible rainy season.
-
It's definitely not a modern day DDLJ, but it still ends up being an enjoyable romantic ride worth the price of its ticket.
-
...comes peppered with smart dialogue, and filled with genuine affection for a cinematic blockbuster that it repeatedly references...but with flair.
-
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya isn’t a cynical rip-off. It’s more the work of a young filmmaker who clearly adores an older filmmaker’s movie, but infuses it with his own new-gen vibe. And that vibe is infectious.
-
This film clearly doesn't take itself too seriously and it doesn't want you to either, which is kind of nice.
-
What’s commendable here is that Khaitan knows he is dealing with a film we all love and makes up for the borrowing by adding a lot of witty touches and subtly changing everything that doesn’t work today.
-
To be fair, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania does have some warm passages. But the overall package that it adds up to is about as appetizing as a bottle of beer gone flat.
-
Watch Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya for wonderful performances, Ashutosh Rana and smart screenplay. But do remember it's one of the dreamy, larger-than-life and low on logic Bollywood movies.
-
One tight thappad for the writer/director for ruining a perfectly good idea...
-
How about this lot in a film that toplines a smooth-as-butter, not-weighed-under- a- DDLJ-tribute plot?
-
...an extended, 134-minute review of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge by a debutant writer and director who has watched the film closely enough to have his own spin on it.
-
Cute in an "anything goes" light, romcom kind of a way.
-
...aims to simply entertain. In that, it succeeds. Nothing more, nothing less.
-
For a large part it comes across as a pleasant reworking, if not subverting, of the mother of all Hindi romantic comedies.
-
Something about it works: it is a ‘100 per cent original fake’ of DDLJ.
-
...is really funny in places, but it’s so insubstantial, unimaginative and regressive that that’s just not enough.
-
The two lead actors are lively, but their performances are one dimensional.
