What the critics say

Critics split sharply on this one: some call Khan's dual role as the dowdy Surinder and flashy Raj entertaining and even emotionally satisfying, while others find the script paper-thin, the film overlong and formulaic, and say only Anushka Sharma's debut truly stands out.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 4 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
