Yeh Saali Zindagi movie review: what critics say (13)
What critics say Critics are divided: 3 of 13 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 3 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the performances.

Read the full reviewYeh Saali Zindagi is like a blueberry cheesecake. A delightful little trifle that works because the actors don’t think they are auditioning for a consumer ad or a fashion glossy photo shoot.

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.
