Humshakals
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...features an odd balance between brilliant jokes, followed by a pajama party of PJs.
-
Though it is notches higher an effort from Sajid's last Himmatwala, Humshakals is not the film that would help him redeem his fate.
-
This film packs in thrice the crudity and vulgarity found in Sajid Khan’s cinema.
-
...tries too hard to make you laugh, but fails miserably.
-
...a defiant film made by a man who is fast becoming a rebel without a cause.
-
Humshakals should set several online forums on fire, with topics ranging from “Is Humshakals Really Worse Than Himmatwala?” to “Saif Ali Khan’s Mid-life Crisis – Desperate For A 100cr Hit” to “Must Sajid Khan Get To Make Films Only He And His Friends Enjoy?”
-
So Sajid Khan would have thought that this is game, set and match for him. A 'blockbuster film'. It is, if he has targeted this movie for five-year-olds!
-
Silly, irreverent humour is always a welcome change. But braindead, childish (sorry children, don't roll your eyes yet) pathetic attempt at funny is not.
-
It is insensitive at multiple levels, yet it is borderline "not as bad as I thought". And then of course, it goes into one bad sub-plot after another till you are sick and tired of it all.
-
Why are our comedies so bad? We don’t have to search very far for the reasons – tempo-killing songs, underwritten heroines, leaden pace, overlong running times… And we insist on casting stars rather than comic actors.
-
Since everything is multiplied three times in Sajid Khan’s latest comedy, it’s totally fair to complain that Humshakals is thrice as excruciating as films in this genre.
-
Even by the pitiable cinematic standards that the director has so defiantly set for himself, Humshakals is the very pits. It scrapes the bottom of a barrel that seems to have no bottom at all.
-
Half a star is all we can afford — may be for Sajid Khan's confidence to call it a film.
-
Juvenile humour and racist remarks aside (which Humshakals has plentiful) this film assumes watching mentally unstable people and their loony behavior is entertainment.
-
...is as flat as cola from a bottle that’s been left open for a year. Read that clearly please:
-
This singularly unfunny film plumbs the depths of comedic bankruptcy by a director who quite frankly, hasn't delivered anything funny in a long time.
-
...this film cannot 'lower and debase' its audience any more than it already has.
-
This one is way beyond. Idiocy is a gentle term for what is unleashed upon us. You can also call it a two-and-a- half hour show reel of plot-less, witless, joylessness.
-
I can only say that Humshakals will be listed in one of the worst films of the century.
-
It’s all bad. All of it, every last instant, every single word.
-
There are bad movies, and then there’s Humshakals. The worst film of 2014 so far, in my book.
-
...after 159 minutes of, let’s not get into what that was, it’s the behind-the-scenes shots that actually make you laugh, if at all.
-
Trying to review or analyse this Sajid Khan film is like sending a child-crafted-claymated monkey for a brain scan and hoping to find proof of brain activity.
