Yamla Pagla Deewana - all reviews; 2.4 stars so far

Review: Yamla Pagla Deewana






Cast: Dharmendra, Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol





Anupama Chopra NDTV8 2.5/5 By the end, I was all Deol’ed out. If it had been crisper and the writing better, Yamla Pagla Deewana had the potential to be a rollicking good time. Unfortunately, it’s only intermittently funny and extremely exhausting. 
Aniruddha Guha DNA 2/5 Apart from an earnest performance by Sunny Deol and some really hilarious scenes in the second half, Yamla Pagla Deewana is a tiresome watch.
Nikhat Kazmi Times of India 3.5/5 Watch it for its unbridled goofiness, the attempt to laugh at the Punjabi stereotypes and for the Deol chemistry that makes you chuckle, now and then. 
Rajeev Masand, CNN IBN 2.5/5 Alas, director Samir Karnik doesn’t know when to pull the brakes. The film hurtles along endlessly, and well overstays its welcome. The emotional scenes are cheesy, and Bobby’s romantic scenes quite needless.
Raja Sen Rediff.com 2/5 To be fair, the film's second half does rustle up a few scenes of momentum, but this is a nearly three-hour film and we all deserve better. As do the Deols.
Komal Nahta koimoi.com 2/5 Watch or Not? Masses, go for it surely! Classes, go for it only if you can leave your brains at home.
