Crazy Cukkad Family movie review: what critics say (8)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 0 of 8 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 6 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the performances and the direction. Criticised: the script.
A situation like this is ripe for black humour, and a sharp comedy of manners. There are moments when the film seems to get it, but then squanders the chance, and gets back to being broad and obvious. And dull.
Read the full reviewCrazy Cukkad Family has a lame story and screenplay too follows the formula of picking up from here and there.
Read the full reviewThe narrative hinges itself on satire, however, the melodrama towards the end dilutes the humour; that could have been avoided. That apart, Ritesh Menons direction is confident and his portrayal of characters, engaging.
Read the full reviewCrazy Cukkad Family has lyricist Swanand Kirkire in the principal role of a lout out to make a right royal nuisance of himself. He is not bad at all.
Read the full reviewThe idea of presenting a money-minded madcap household might have looked good on paper, but it doesnt work as a film in the absence of a strong conflict line.
If you give a funny twist to a probable sequel of Baghban, it could end up looking like this. However, what puts a break on this potentially quirky laughter ride is its predictable story.
Read the full reviewOn the whole, Crazy Cukkad Family is entertaining, no doubt, but at the end of the day, it appears like a nice television serial. Lack of face value and the poor opening will do the film in. Its commercial prospects are very dull.

Crazy Cukkad Family audience rating and reviews
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 one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
