Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a joyride from start to end. The film works because the written material, the execution of the subject and the performances complement each other wonderfully.
-
This isn't the perfect chicken recipe for your soul, but never mind, it's the simplicity of emotions that fill you up, leaving a good after-taste.
-
Sumit Batheja's writing and Sameer Sharma's direction is a brilliant combination. The detailing in the setting of the film and focus on each of the characters is well crafted.
-
...is just the kind of cinematic repast that those might have lost their appetite for Bollywood comedies could do with.
-
Fine performances and some fresh, earthy dialogue keep the momentum and interest in this otherwise plain plot.
-
The title of the film is apt-it's a delicious mix of love, humour and romance- all folded in a unique story.
-
...is delectable feast if you ignore the minor flaws. It has a lot of humour and massive contagious Punjabiyat!
-
...a light-hearted drama that leaves you with a smile...
-
The flaws however, get overshadowed by the humour and they way the actors essay their part.
-
The combination of a good story and its nimble execution work along with some terrific performances.
-
Go; get a taste of this dish. It is worth savoring!
-
...a warm and fuzzy comedy that benefits from the insider's eye that the director casts on this garrulous community, and their love of food and family. At 2 hours and 15 minutes, the film feels bloated and over-long, but stay with it and you won't regret it.
-
There is fun to be had here - just have some patience.
-
An unsurprising story, but told with freshness, fun and loads of warmth.
-
Family is the motor that revs up this wonderful romance, which is as much about the ways we love people as the ways we love food – and this is only fitting in a film whose title embraces both "luv" and "chicken."
-
...a light-hearted feel-good film that will make you leave the cinema with a smile on your face.
-
The film’s resolution of its characters’ dilemmas tends to be a bit disingenuous, but Sharma has a knack – again, befitting someone who worked on DDLJ – for the sweetly engineered plot twist.
-
It's nice, all this 'pinni' and 'parandi' and 'pind', and these 'hum log', and just that.
-
...as the reels roll you realise Anurag's Chicken Khurana lacks the right amount of spice. Debutant director Sharma somehow doesn't get the mix of Punjabi humour and melodrama right.
-
...a small film that serves up a decent dose of entertainment. It’s like comfort food. Rich in nutrition, easy-to-eat but light on the masala.
-
For Punjabis and non-natives, the authentic charm of the setting is delectable and so are several heart-warming moments. Just that the film fails to rise beyond those moments to make it a memorably enjoyable trip to cinema halls.
-
...is missing something. Call it a certain oomph, call it the X factor.
-
To a large extent, Luv Shuv… doesn’t work because of Kunal Kapoor’s weak, uninspired performance.
-
It takes well into the second half for the film to pick up any sort of pace only to lead to a rather predictable climax.
-
As refreshing as it is to see Punjab outside the world of the Chopras and Johars, you do leave the hall with a half-empty stomach.Something is amiss here.
