Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter 09/21/2018
A rollicking if predictable rom com, where all the expected notes are hit up to the guaranteed happy ending. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Like love, this film is messy and flawed and glorious. You have to sign up for all of it. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety 09/12/2018
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? Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review

2/5
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. Go to Full Review
Poulomi Das Arré 03/11/2019
Aided by smart writing and affecting performances, the film subverts the nice guy trope and squashes the idea of the one true love. Go to Full Review

Faiz D May 13 An underrated gem of a movie. See more 06/15/2021 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. See more 09/20/2020 Stupidity, waste of time See more 06/20/2020 An underrated gem of a movie. See more 12/21/2019 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. See more 07/14/2019 If I could give this movie negative stars, I would. Undoubtedly one of the worst movies I've seen till date. Yikes See more Read all reviews
