It's all pleasant enough, but falls short of being as genuinely different as Clean Slate claims its films to be. Go to Full Review

"Phillauri" is a Bollywood movie toggling between a contemporary screwball rom-com and a sweeping historical love story. Balancing both proves to be challenging. Go to Full Review

What we're left with eventually is the sound and the undying spirit of a hybrid fairytale, just not the consistency of one. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

01/18/2019 One of the worst movies ever made after meri pyari Bindu. Horrible horrible. It's just plain crap.. See more 07/31/2017 Such a original and beautiful cinema!! People have very poor taste in movies it seems. See more 07/25/2017 This could have been a good comedy, but took itself too seriously. A good story wasted See more 06/24/2017 Brilliant story & performances. Definitely worth much higher rating than here on rotten tomatoes. See more 05/30/2017 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. See more 04/16/2017 Liked it to watch once. Kept me engaged whole time See more Read all reviews
