Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is the perfect Diwali entertainer for the entire family.
-
...a must-watch for all Salman fans and will be best enjoyed with your family.
-
Ghee-soaked in goodness, PRDP is gift-wrapped with a simple line. With family, stand strong - but also bow.
-
For all those who love family sagas, drama and 90’s style romance, this is one royal ride you might want to take.
-
...the film works for both Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya's specific audience bases.
-
The film has its faults, but with Salman Khan's dual force (yes, he plays a double role), a lilting romance, and the ODing on traditional values – this one's sure to hit the right spots with the family junta.
-
Wish Sooraj reflected a little more on the darkness beneath the light but overall it is a family get together that you don’t mind attending in festive mood.
-
It's long yes, and most of its story is almost too sentimental. But the it works, especially if you like family dramas with a dash of style and humour.
-
...the tropes have gotten rusty, the emotions seldom feel genuine, and the writing is strictly surface level. Good thing then that the film's got Salman Khan as leading man, his abundant charisma glossing over many of its flaws.
-
...neither hitting the highs expected from such an expensive and high-profile project nor the lows that plague mid-career filmmakers. Like its intended audience, the movie sticks firmly in the middle.
-
Quite a let down, given Barjatya’s greatest strength is the warmth his characters exude.
-
With a screenplay that's so lacklustre, dialogues so mediocre and settings so outdated, it might have been less torturous had the film not been painfully long at close to three hours.
-
With no redeeming sub-plots, supporting actors, catchy songs or memorable dialogues, this Rajshri film is a disgrace to its kind.
-
The overwrought PRDP might not be that bad, but it is syrupy to the point of being unendurable. Only for Salman Khan fans.
-
...Elephants, camels, palaces, exotic dishes and soft background score can’t make you happy. You need a family in order to be happy. So true, but isn’t it a bit stretched statement to make through a 174-minute film?
-
You can imagine brides-to-be making mental notes of which lehengas and saris they want copied as they watch this opulent, colour-coordinated costume drama.
-
While this may make for great box-office, it’s not consistently arresting cinema.
-
Should you watch the film? The question you need to ask is "Are you a Salman Khan fan?"
-
...is like a well wrapped sweet box with cheap halwa inside.
-
...nothing belongs, nothing is a fit.
-
The writing is too conscious of itself too – trying too hard to be a Barjatya-Salman film that has to teach you a thing or two about family values.
-
...half-baked, lifeless, low-IQ film with its juvenile humour and family politics that resembles circumstances in the cheapest saas-bahu soaps now running on Hindi fiction TV.
