Dolly Ki Doli movie review: what critics say (18)
What critics say Critics are divided: none of the 18 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 2 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the performances, the script and the direction.
Dolly Ki Doli has a great idea, and starts off well, but then falls into a familiar trap of a single-track leading lady piloting a half-baked plot.
Read the full reviewWith its winsome ensemble of actors, background actors and walk-in parts, the lighthearted caper radiates an attractive energy thats pleasant to be around even if hardly profound.
Read the full reviewDolly Ki Doli isn't great but isn't all the bad either. The story works mostly for the social satire that it is on the national obsession - Marriage. Should you watch the film? Yes, for the idea and some entertaining performances.
Read the full reviewDebut director Abhishek Dogra gives us a film that's an above-average entertainer, with an interesting story and a solid ensemble cast. Worth a watch!
Read the full reviewNever overstaying its welcome, the film is short and a lot of fun. It's worth watching for Rajkummar Rao's excellent performance alone.

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.
