| OutlookNamrata JoshiLife, for most of us, is a sum total of such minutiae. So is DLKH. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjusha RadhakrishnanThe pace is languid, but doesn't get tiring. Take the plunge and watch this romantic comedy. |
| The Times of IndiaMohar BasuUndeniably, the smarts are visible in its original thinking but it doesn't translate into a satiating viewing experience. |
| FilmfareRachit GuptaIf any film deserves to be a hit in 2015, it's this brilliant piece of cinema. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarThis might not be your everyday Bollywood romance, but it is one that should be celebrated, because it is a love story that is rooted in reality. |

| User ReviewMukherjee ANot very often we get to see such movies made in Bollywood. Superb performance by all the actors. The film remains close to reality all the way to the end. Kumar sanu numbers were very refreshing. He has still got it. |
| User ReviewSandeep NBeautiful. There are only few movies that Bollywood does makes you say Yes I watched a MOVIE today! This is one of them. |
| User ReviewYogesh TA totally underrated love story. Beautifully set, heart warming and has that all important chemistry. |
| User ReviewRajesh NDum Laga Ke Haisha: Prem is a 24-year-old high school dropout terrified of learning English who now works at an antiquated cassette tape music recording shop. When his family arranges for him to marry a large girl, his disappointing life seems to be going even worse. But this smart, confident girl turns out to be a big surprise, teaching Prem a thing or two about life. While the story doesn't break any new ground in the realm of relationships and inner beauty, it is cute, pretty realistic and has a crowd pleasing ending that will have you smiling as you stick around for the credits.
