Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania Critics Review
Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan’s much awaited romantica, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya has finally hit the screens on this 11th of July, 2014. Falling under the infamous love brand, Dharma Productions, while the film was already in news owing to its DDLJ kind of romance, here’s how some of our leading critics have evaluated on whether to watch or not watch this Pataka.
Bollywood Hungama says, Ratings: 4/5
HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA is a quintessential Bollywood romance and ticks all the customary boxes that make a love story work. Yet, Shashank Khaitan makes sure the screenwriting incorporates several amusing and compelling episodes that steer clear of rusty formulas that we are used to watching in films of this genre. He keeps it subtle, but makes sure the film wins you over. On the whole, HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA is a beautifully textured love story that wins you over. There's no stopping this one from hitting the bull's eye. Sure-shot winner!
Times Of India says, Ratings: 3/5
The strength of Shashank's debut film (tribute to 'DDLJ') is the performances and characters, whether it is Humpty-Kavya's cutesy, charming chemistry or the unbeatable boy-gang bonding with Shonty and Poplu. Unlike the characters, the story doesn't enthuse or grow beyond the original plot, but it's pinned with warm, delightful moments and laughable dialogues. HSKD has plenty of feel-good moments, but nothing that will leave you punch-drunk. For romantics who believe in their dils and their dulhaniyas - and the quintessential 'Ja, jee le apni zindagi'! - it's a sweet watch (beware the sugar rush!).
Moviezaddda says Ratings: 2.5/5
Well the movie starts with loads of entertaining dum with good foot tapping music and few good looking people attached to it. It's only since the pre-interval the movie starts to wobble a lot leading towards a stupid and weak climax. It has a lot of hangover of 'DDLJ' but does not do proper justice to it. So on an overall basis, would sum it up by using the popular nursery rhyme where after a Humptyfull (entertaining) ride has a great fall where none of the kings men (writers and director) could put Humpty back to track again.
Indian Express says, Ratings: 2.5/5
I smiled all the way till the half way point. After the interval, it becomes another story. Or shall we say, the same old, same old story, in which the plot, which had been going swimmingly along despite its stretches, begins to meander, and lose its way.The title tells us that the film is yet another ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ variant, so we can’t complain when the plot points start feeling the same, even if the details are different. How about this lot in a film that toplines a smooth-as-butter, not-weighed-under- a- DDLJ-tribute plot?
Hindustan Times Says, 2.5/5
Humpty Sharma uses a done-to-death story with wonderfully written script that makes you enjoy the predictive lot. Shashank has also added quite a few twists and turns to some of the crucial parts in DDLJ that will make you realize that this is a smart adaptation. There have been way too many movies on the lines of traditional girls not wanting to marry a stranger and yet going for it just for the sake of her family. This is one of the typical Dharma Productions full of wedding scenes, jazz and Punjabi thumka.
So what’s your take on this one? All set to watch it? Open up in the comments and stay tuned for more updates, right here, right now!
