Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express No Smoking is no good. Not because it doesn't have a superb idea. It does. But because it is too bizarre, too outré, too out of it. It stops us from connecting. May 22, 2019 Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook No Smoking is stylishly shot with great background tracks and quirky black humour. Rated: 3/4 Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Anil Sinanan Times (UK) By the end frustrated viewers may want to kick Kashyap's butt. Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Neil Smith thelondonpaper You'll be wishing this weirdly uneven tale came with its own government health warning - if only so you come prepared for an assortment of incongruous musical numbers and performances that couldn't be broader if they tried. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 26, 2007 Full Review The Sun (UK) No Smoking doesn't kill anything - not even time. Rated: 1/5 Oct 26, 2007 Full Review Neil Smith Film4 A cut above the usual Bollywood fare, though ultimately too slight to justify its rather exorbitant running time. Rated: 3/5 Oct 26, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Priyan B First half was nice, but the second half felt repetitive and sometimes cliche. Rating: 6.5/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review mox l great movie great movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/23 Full Review Audience Member An underrated gem of Indian cinema. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Anurag's second is Anurag's blandest. No words, further. Skip or else you will want to slap yourself for watching such a psychotically boring psycho-thriller. John Abraham trying to act in the first ten minutes of his part is the only genuine thing to take from this film. Rest is a bore. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie based on a story from the confused mind of a psychedelic kid forced to tell a story at the fear of his life, would be more coherent. If we are respecting directors who just string a few visuals and then crib and cry that nobody understands their "immense talent and genius", then, there is something really really wrong. A slow, no story movie with a confused screenplay that is more ridiculous than confusing. This is one of those movies you should always sleep through, in case it is played while you are in a bus (or any other such inescapable position). Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member story-line is good with the metaphor of freedom of choice Vs censorship/oppression which has been relevant at all times in history and will be in future as well. perfect movie for john abraham to be cast in the lead who fits the role to the hilt. exceptional acting by paresh rawal. the music and the picturisation of songs has been done in a stylish manner. daring movie to be made keeping in mind the sensibility of the indian audience. no wonder it tanked at the box office. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
