1.5/5
This film doesn't feel modern. It feels dated and shallow Go to Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion 10/16/2018
1/5
Helicopter Eela is one of the most clueless, boring and unintentionally Oedipal films of our times. Go to Full Review Shilpa Jamkhandikar Reuters 10/12/2018
A shrill, dated and insipid story of a co-dependent relationship between a mother and her son, the film is as enjoyable as having your mother breathing down your neck all day. Go to Full Review Kennith Rosario The Hindu 10/12/2018
Helicopter Eela is a loud, tone-deaf mother-son coming-of-age saga that lacks insights and observational humour. Go to Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost 10/12/2018
2/5
Helicopter Eela means well, but it ends up as an often fun but almost entirely superficial Mom com. Go to Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in 10/12/2018
The extended climax is pure schmaltz, but is rousing enough to ensure that Helicopter Eela doesn't crash-land all the way but escapes with significant damage. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/10/2019 Karol carries this different type of feel-good movie. The cosmopolitan, upper-class setting may not work for many as the movie blithely brushes aside many stereotypical answers to standard issues featuring in Indian movies. There are no thugs in the film industry. Kajol's character breaks all types of formulaic get ups. Those not offended are likely to love it. See more 01/23/2019 Helicopter Eela is an amazing movie. It really shows the dedication and sacrifices that mothers have to make for their children. It an awesome family movie. I would definitely watch this movie again and even recommend it to a friend.
