Anisha Jhaveri IndieWire It's all pleasant enough, but falls short of being as genuinely different as Clean Slate claims its films to be. Rated: B- Mar 30, 2017 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times "Phillauri" is a Bollywood movie toggling between a contemporary screwball rom-com and a sweeping historical love story. Balancing both proves to be challenging. Mar 26, 2017 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion What we're left with eventually is the sound and the undying spirit of a hybrid fairytale, just not the consistency of one. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Nihit Bhave The Times of India With his body language and voice modulation, Suraj Sharma nails the confused-aimless millennial and lightens the mood. Mehreen Pirzada's helpless and hopelessly-in-love Anu is endearing. Rated: 3/5 Mar 27, 2018 Full Review Rachit Gupta Filmfare Phillauri is truly a fun film. For romance enthusiasts, this movies got everything. For the casual movie goer, it's got the right amount of humour. Rated: 4/5 Oct 27, 2017 Full Review Manjusha Radhakrishnan Gulf News (UAE) You know what's coming long before it plays out and that makes it tedious and soul-destroying. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member One of the worst movies ever made after meri pyari Bindu. Horrible horrible. It's just plain crap.. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a original and beautiful cinema!! People have very poor taste in movies it seems. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This could have been a good comedy, but took itself too seriously. A good story wasted Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant story & performances. Definitely worth much higher rating than here on rotten tomatoes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member From the start the movie seemed lame, it's a wonder I sat through it till the end, utter waste of time. They had an idea but didn't know how to execute it, from casting, to script , to songs to direction, everything which could possible go wrong went wrong. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Liked it to watch once. Kept me engaged whole time Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
