Lekar Hum Deewana Dil 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 script.
Was this meant to be a political awakening for two city-bred well-off ignorant-about-real-India young people? It would have been terrific if the plot had known what to make of it.
Read the full reviewThere is a germ of an idea in showing how their grand plans fall apart as reality sets in the relationship, and they end up hating each other and return home. But it is shallowly executed.
Read the full reviewStories like Lekaar Hum Deewana Dil did very well in the ’80s but that’s just about when these concepts had begun to fade out. The problem with this film is that it has released late by a couple of decades.
Read the full reviewForget ‘Saathiya’, which felt honest and real in the manner that it addressed young love and an impulsive marriage; ‘Lekar Hum Deewana Dil’ isn’t even a satisfying rom-com about squabbling lovers.
Read the full reviewAt various points in Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, the word blunder is uttered. Quite apt!
Read the full reviewIf you are bunking college and looking for a spot to simply chill, even then I wouldnt recommend Lekar Hum Deewana Dil to you. Its dismally bad. Director Arif Ali brings out a flavorsome concept and €‹rips it apart.
Read the full reviewLekar Hum Deewana Dil is a sweet film that borrows the elopement theory from evergreen 70s’-80s’ romances like Bobby, Love Story and Betaab. It even has shades of Arif’s older brother Imtiaz’s Jab We Met and Highway.
Read the full reviewSomewhere in the middle of their escape from parental tyranny, this Bobby-meets-Highway-meets-Chalte-Chalte loses the plot.

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.
