Ae Dil Hai Mushkil movie review: what critics say (27)
What critics say Critics are divided: 10 of 27 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 5 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the pacing and the emotion.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is a film about tedha love — crooked love, love that refuses to stay straight — and about the unshared, pure potency of unrequited passion.
Read the full reviewWink-wink references to other Bollywood features add spice to this lukewarm masala.
Read the full reviewBy the time ADHM gets into a full-on Devdas mode, we are in no mood for tragedy. But what to do? Karan Johar won't let his characters enjoy their self-inflicted pain without a pay-off.
Read the full reviewAe Dil Hai Mushkil has some really nice moments, but they are few and suffer the curse of a weak second half. Nevertheless watch it for Ranbir and Karan's interpretation of love, loss and longing.
Read the full reviewYou enjoy the first half which is bubbly and frothy and Anushka Sharma's fun, feisty character steals your heart. Then the film becomes more of a 'mushkil' than a tale of 'dils'. Suffering from a case of 'One-sided love'?
Read the full reviewDespite the occasionally mawkish undertones and the blatant attempt at emotional manipulation in its final act, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil gives you a hero that makes you care.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
