Lekar Hum Deewana Dil movie review: what critics say (19)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 0 of 19 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 16 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the script. Criticised: 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 reviewLekar Hum Deewana Dil might appeal to the college going audience. It clearly does not have appeal enough to become popular with anyone else.
Read the full reviewSince its protagonists are largely loathsome in their self serving attitude, this is not an easy film to like .

Read the full reviewIn short, LHDD is Love Aaj Kal, Jab photographer Met Rockstar, and set out on a Highway, landing in a Cocktail of sorts. Watch it only if you've exhausted all other movie options this week.
Read the full reviewThough the storyline of Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is clichéd, watching it over the weekend won't hurt.
Read the full reviewLekar Hum Deewana Dil is a film best enjoyed with someone special. You might find yourself relating to more than just a few of the incidents in the film.
Read the full review`Lekar Hum Deewana Dil` marks the grand entry of Raj Kapoor`s grandson Armaan Jain and popular South Indian actress, Deeksha Seth. Armaan has a whole family name he needs to live up to.
Read the full reviewLekar Hum Deewana Dil dwells on the joys and miseries of elopement and that ends up making the movie a bit of a yawnfest
Read the full reviewOne dialogue from the film sums it up aptly for us: "yaar ye toh epic fail hogaya!" Watch it only if your life depends on it.
Despite having promising faces as its lead, the film ends up delivering lower than expectations because of a weak script.
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 reviewAt various points in Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, the word blunder is uttered. Quite apt!
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 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 reviewSomewhere in the middle of their escape from parental tyranny, this Bobby-meets-Highway-meets-Chalte-Chalte loses the plot.
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.

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.
