A colorful, enjoyable rom com hybrid for teens.

Ready Steady Cut

Rajma Chawal is inoffensive enough, but it’s undermined by tacked-on romance, too much contrivance, and lacklustre performances.

Rated: 2/5

Rajma Chawal is an intimate little film; yet this is the sort of turn our so-called 'commercial’ cinema should be taking.

Rated: 3.5/5

Common Sense Media

Some cursing, violence in thoughtful Indian comedy-drama.

Rated: 4/5

Film Companion

It's one thing to romanticize their ignorance on screen; it's another when the makers themselves are those ignorant folks.

Rated: 1.5/5

Garnished with flavours that range from the mildly pungent to the gently aromatic, Rajma Chawal, a bittersweet father-son drama set in Old Delhi, is instantly appetizing.

Rated: 3/5

new script / story with genuine performance from the main and supporting actors. Good movie to watch on the go.

Although it’s a Netflix movie, it definitely resembled your typical Bollywood movie. Typical conflicts. Typical love story. But it was a cute movie and closer to the current times. Kind of cheesy at times but I enjoyed it.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Starting out as a farcical comedy it grows into a rather superlative watch with deeper connotations. Catfishing, stalking, feigning to love at first sight, innocent frauds, inevitable heartbreaks, soulful music, dramatic coincidences, crazy staging of events - it's remarkable how far parents will go to set their children up for success- too far? A beautifully told perfect story of imperfect people- a rich-royal-mess of love at the cost of preceived ethics: 'Rajma Chawal' on Netflix is a must watch!
