I haven't seen the original but today, it's hard to find laughs in three lecherous old men sitting in a park and staring at women.

There is literally nothing in this film to make you like it, unless you really dig regressive cinema. It's also very difficult to analyze or have an educated film discussion on the film.

The Hindu

While the main plot is a bit of a downer, the unexpected laughs from Akshay Kumar more than make it worth your time. This is a sub-plot that deserves a stand-alone film.

The Times of India

The terrific threesome play their parts with ease and Lisa adds oomph and colour to the 'grey' streaks.

Rated: 3/5

Watch this if you are a fan of Akshay Kumar and can turn a blind eye to some blatant objectification of women.

If only Kumar were the main plot. When the movie returns to the randy old scarecrows, it feels like an anti-climax and just one more hackneyed, derivative film in a Bollywood library that's already brimming with them.

An extremely disappointing re-creation of the original which too was hardly a classic. The story was always lame and grating but the original had some decent laughters.

Pity them who have gone by the reveiws and given "The Shaukeens" a miss..A total laugh riot and full on entertainment. Akshay's comic sense Great...Annu Kapoor and Anupam Kher needless to comment on...but the surprise package was Piyush Mishra and Lisa Haydon both were Superb....Though in the lines of the old Basu Chatterjee's "Shaukeen" yet This new one "The Shaukeens" is hilarious in its own ways....If you haven't better go and see for some hearty laughs ....

Story of 3 old guys who are still looking for sex with a young girl. Some moments are genuinely funny. Akshay Kumar has played role of himself and did scenes laughing at himself.An Ok Movie.
