Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Netflix's newest documentary 'Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous' feels unnecessary and confusing, not adding anything new to the discussion surrounding the controversial singer's life. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Troy Ribeiro Free Press Journal (India) Overall, this film isn’t just a documentary; it’s a reclamation. It successfully showcases the man behind the beats. As an artist's confession and a celebration of survival, the film is flawed but fiercely personal—much like its protagonist. Rated: 2.5 Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Nawab S Yo Yo Honey Singh’s documentary offers an honest and captivating glimpse into the life of one of India’s most iconic musical sensations. The film effectively portrays his journey from humble beginnings to stardom, shedding light on the challenges he faced, including mental health struggles and the pressures of fame. What stands out is the raw vulnerability with which Honey Singh shares his personal battles, making the narrative deeply relatable and inspiring for viewers. The documentary balances his highs and lows, showcasing his creative genius, work ethic, and the cultural revolution he sparked in the Indian music industry. The production quality, engaging interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments make it a must-watch for fans and music enthusiasts. It’s a heartfelt tribute to resilience and passion, leaving viewers with a deeper appreciation for the man behind the music. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Shailendra K Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous doesnt feel like a documentary about Yo Yo Honey Singh but a documentary made by Honey Singh and for Honey Singh. The doc superficially scratches the surface of the Phenomenon of Yo Yo or his downfall and takes every chance to focus on his mental health issues and comeback which makes this clearly a PR effort to hopefully get his career back to previous height. Yo Yo seems sincere and honest when he talks about his mental health issues but the documentary barely spends time on anything to make a real impact. The documentary should have spent more time on how he became Yo Yo, shown more of his songs, interviewed more people from Bollywood who worked with him or even his fans talk more about him or let Badshah and co talk a bit more about the controversial part of his career and really explore Yo Yo Honey Singh's career. A 30 mins interview with Yo Yo talking about his mental challenges and desire to make a comeback would have probably been more insightful than this documentary. Highly disappointing. 5/10. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
