Film Companion

Khandaani Shafakhana puts too much pressure on Sonakshi Sinha. She is in almost every frame of the film. We see her in close-up - literally and figuratively. But her performance is largely confined to pouting and scowling.

The Indian Express

The trouble with this film is that quite soon it chickens out. From a comedy with a strong 'social' component which could have been a barrel of meaningful laughs, it turns into a soppy melodrama.

Rated: 2/5

Rahul Desai

Film Companion

Instead of meticulously exploring a woman's struggle in what is considered a male-dominated field, the makers simply romanticize her lost battle.

Watch the film not just for the tricky theme it tackles, but also for the way it does so.

Rated: 3.5/5

Sonakshi Sinha and Badshah's film has its heart in the place but suffers for playing sexual problems for jokes and unnecessary melodrama.

Rated: 2/5

Filmfare

Where the film stumbles majorly is in the screenplay and editing. There is a lack of coherency in both the departments that kind of drags the film down.

Rated: 3/5

I have seen a number of negative reviews, ,but I really enjoyed the movie. Important topic, fun, a change and great performances by Sonakshi Sinha and Kulbhudhan Kharabanda.

I saw all of the terrible reviews and had low expectations, but found the movie surprisingly charming. It has its rough edges, but Sonakshi, Annu Kapoor, Priyanshu Jora, and Kulbhushan Kharbanda all put in wonderful, endearing performances. Badshah was amazing! The movie has its heart in the right place.

'Khandaani Shafakhana' is a disappointing comedy drama that under utilizes its important subject and suffers from a wilting script.
