A weak script with some directing inconsistencies, Fanney Khan had room to be an enjoyable comedy or satire. Instead it careened towards over-the-top melodrama with debatable messaging.

Rated: 2/5

The story isn't plausible, which is not an issue. For me the stumbling block was the inconsistent tonality.

Rated: 2.5/5

First-time director Atul Manjrekar not only keeps the dramatic core of the story intact, he also ramps it up appreciably to serve up an indigenized version that more than serves its purpose.

Rated: 2.5/5

Kapoor, unfortunately, is the only one convinced this is a legitimate movie.

Overall, Fanney Khan is a star studded musical that starts on a high note and has its moments of glory. It shows how parents live their dreams through children.

Rated: 3/5

Fanney Khan has its affecting moments, nearly all of them stemming from Anil Kapoor's touching performance as the concerned father and the romance between the characters played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao.

Time is money and when it's wasted, sometimes it hurts more than money! We gives 2 hours of our life and what we get is a plot so badly stitched together that at one point you start to feel sympathetic towards the director... I wished there was someone around him to help him or at least make him aware that it's no more in the entertainment zone. It was just tad bit short of entering torture zone. Just because anyone can become a director doesn't mean he should....

It could pull off by mainly the acting of Anil Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao. The dreams a father sees for his kids and drawn at the edge only to fulfil them touched. Laughed with the acting of Rajkumar Rao. But Ashwaria can't be doing what she was, as a singing super star. Showing love-affairs isn't necessary in all the movies. Ending was being irrationa, Police won't clap in uniform for a kidnaper, to find a person after tracking shouldn't be this late. From that point the movie slowed down to death

'Fanney Khan' has well-meaning intentions but is letdown by its lazy execution and melodramatic overtones.

How can a movie about singing and music with three lead singer-characters have only three original songs? How can a movie about music have uninspiring music? How can then, such a movie, have poor lip syncing where it is evident those actor-singers are not singing the song in the film? Full of cliches, poor dialogues and horrible editing makes this an unwatchable film. Sorry Rajkummar, even you couldn't save this film.
