Review of the film :
This film reviews are mostly mix to positive from critics.
Critics reviews :
- Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave the film a 2.5 star out of 5 stars stating, “PRDP sticks to its beliefs on sibling affection, family values and coy courtship and takes a lengthy route to assert so. Yet it is not the predictability but the lop-sided sentimentality of the director’s narrative that hurts PRDP’s intentions the most.” She criticized the director for recycling “men versus women sporting contests, midnight kitchen rendezvous and the pristine aura of Prem”, but appreciated the performance of Salman Khan even though it never matched his previous Bajrangi Bhaijaan act.
- Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama rate the film 4.5 star out of 5 writes that “On the whole, PRDP is the perfect Diwali entertainer for the entire family. The film will win abundant love prem, while its investors will reap a harvest dhan, making it a memorable Diwali for all concerned.”
- Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times gave the film only 2 star from 5 stars, mentioned that “as a film straight out of the ’80s” rehashing the director’s same formula, but appreciated music director Himesh Reshammiya and lead actor Salman Khan as “quite likeable and his comic timing has gotten better”.
- Srijana Mitra Das of Times of India gave the 3.5 star from 5, stating that PRDP is Salman Khan’s triumph and he ” simply blows the top off the theatres with a double role that makes you laugh, gasp, sigh – and cry.” She also appreciated the performance of Sonam Kapoor, Deepak Dobriyal, Aashika Bhatia and Swara Bhaskar.
- Sonia Chopra of Sify gave 3 star out of 5 stars, stated that the film has its faults, but with actor Salman Khan’s dual role, the movie is sure to hit the right spots with the family audience.
- Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave the film a rating of 3 star from 5 stars noted that the director employed the same successful formula he had tried in his previous films, but now “the tropes have gotten rusty, the emotions seldom feel genuine, and the writing is strictly surface level”. He concluded that the film’s only saving grace is the presence of Salman Khan who is in good form.
- Shubhra Gupta of Indian Express gave the film a lowest rating of 1.5 star from 5 stars, stating that it a re-imagining of Ramayan and its million stories, criticizing it as “an out-dated, overblown rehash of the director’s previous films”
