Deborah Young Hollywood Reporter A rollicking if predictable rom com, where all the expected notes are hit up to the guaranteed happy ending. Sep 21, 2018 Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion Like love, this film is messy and flawed and glorious. You have to sign up for all of it. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety It's difficult to recall the last movie husband who evinced such gentlemanly self-restraint when it came to actually consummating his union to a reluctant partner. Kent Smith in Val Lewton's "Cat People," maybe? Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV Manmarziyaan is a film that is likely to sweep you along as it goes down its lazy, loopy path in search of happiness for its endearing heroine. You will her on to settle down, but on her own terms. Rated: 3/5 Jul 21, 2020 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost Abhishek Bachchan is sweet as paavam-bechara Robbie, though a little dull. Vicky Kaushal nails the externals of his character with great pizzazz, but has little to chew on in terms of who the man really is. Rated: 2/5 May 7, 2019 Full Review Poulomi Das Arré Aided by smart writing and affecting performances, the film subverts the nice guy trope and squashes the idea of the one true love.

Audience Member Anurag Kashyap goes soft, with pleasantly surprising results. A nice love triangle with an authentic setting. There are two many vacillations in the plot and it's about 45 minutes longer than it should be, though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupidity, waste of time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member An underrated gem of a movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member While I don't know why it's international screen name is 'Husband Material' which sounds so bizarre that it is ultimately bland, what I can tell you about the film is that it deconstructs the complex layers of love, fucking love, bloody love and many other modern forms of love today. Only, the craft here is of the director who has in credit gangster dramas like 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and 'Black Friday'. So we see why it's not an Imtiaz Ali movie: there are dark, grays in its characters and their layers... but it is also not bereft of poetic touch which might be the most fierce thing about it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member If I could give this movie negative stars, I would. Undoubtedly one of the worst movies I've seen till date. Yikes Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Manmarziyaan is a romantic comedy, I was enjoying the movie in the beginning with its fun and laughs, but as soon as the Love triangle was introduced plot and storytelling went out of the equation. There is a saying Love is blind, in the movie they go on to show how blind, dumb and absurd it can be. The cast and their performances were good but not good enough to save the movie.
