This could have been a good comedy, but took itself too seriously. A good story wasted

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

You know what's coming long before it plays out and that makes it tedious and soul-destroying.
