The movie is akin to the entertainers we had relished in 1980s and 1990s, using the time-tested template [boy meets girl, love blossoms, boy/girl's authoritarian parent acts as a roadblock], but Shashank makes sure to prettify it with dollops of entertainment, light-hearted drama, heartfelt emotions and of course, harmonious songs that linger in your memory. Most importantly, the chemistry between its lead pair, Varun and Alia, is simply electrifying, which acts as the icing on the cake. In a nutshell, ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ is a fascinating youth drama + family entertainer that delivers big time.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya is a fun-filled ride.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania is a refreshing film.
Recommended only for Bollywood junkies that love their froth served in receptacles that have no depth.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya is a fresh, fun film about DDLJ-fans.
Alia Bhatt is vibrant, Varun Dhawan still has raw edges.
HSKD has plenty of feel-good moments, but nothing that will leave you punch-drunk.
In a film that scores big on humour, performance and production values, the music is a bit of a letdown.
A light-hearted tribute to DDLJ.
