09/11/2019 This is a raw, priceless film. While it provides masala, mainstream fun, it builds on its plot and characters. Writer and filmmaker Abhishek Dogra has constructed beautifully the character of Dolly, played effectively by Sonam Kapoor, who takes down her husbands. Rajkummar Rao is worthy as the Haryanvi husband of Dolly, and the characters playing the family bits leave you with a smile on your face. But above all, 'Dolly ki Doli' is a winner because of its sharp script and an entertaining story which is, actually, based on true events. Definitely more than a one-time watch. It's consuming ultimately and unforgettable. Yes, it is bloated and silly, with logic-defying the other way down. But its cultural references make it a special film. This looteri dulhan is absolutely fun. See more Ahmed M 04/25/2016 The film feels like a story Bollywood has seen multiple times, despite that it still remains somewhat entertaining here and there. Also, the performances by the actors are not-good, and the comedy is barely funny. See more 05/09/2015 The movie sticks to its simple, core concept right to the end - the concept that is known even from the story's description above in the first seven words. There is nothing more and as a result it gets stretched at times, but it is cute and has moments.

A con-woman Dolly (Sonam Kapoor) entraps and marries men only to run away with all valuables of the groom and his family. To setup and arrange these fake marriage she has a whole fake family along with her. Sonu (Rajkummar Rao) a jatt farmer who seems to be truly in love with her becomes one such victim. Then after an item number and couple of more fake marriages later is the turn of Manjot (Varun Sharma). There is very less light shed on why this con gang pull-of so many heists yet live a mediocre life. The characters seemed to have zero motivation towards whatever they were doing. Anyways, not all is well when finally after dozens of fake marriages the police comes to know about the gang and a cop (Pulkit Samrat) decides to take up the case because of a some evident personal reason. After few months thanks to Saif Ali Khan's cameo character, when the cop and the bride finally meet face-to- face we have all the clichéd melodrama and even more illogicality with the ending than what had already been portrayed. Anyways its always hard to pull of a credible ending for such con comedy premises. On the positive side, Dolly Ki Doli is briskly based, it just flies off from the word go. Some times the editing felt too choppy but I will appreciate them for keeping it under 100 minutes. This is the basic thing most Bollywood films to get right and have overblown run time with very little substance. Debut director Abhishek Dogra keeps the atmosphere light, not to be taken seriously and even satirical at times until the last act. The script is full of illogical behaviors and plot holes, but if you can ignore that then the comedy might be enjoyable. But I myself did not find it hilarious. The comic timing was terrible plus the characters were interesting yet poorly written. Acting wise, all three males Rajkummar,Varun and Pulkit do a commendable job. Sonam Kapoor on the other hand was quite unbearable. Her acting was okayish, but it was the character of Dolly which was utter nonsense. The same old innocent-pretty girl is terribly overdone which made her look annoying plus it is highly unbelievable that so many men fell into her trap so easily. Also we annoying songs and an item number stuffed in just for the sake of it, which had nothing new. Overall, I will say Dolly Ki Doli is a nice and non-formulaic attempt which is appreciable. But it is heavily flawed and has poor dialogues. This ride can be moderately enjoyable only if don't care much about the characters and keep your brains at home. Still, it is highly avoidable.
