Befikre movie reviews :
This film reviews are mostly mix to positive from critics, However audience not liked the film and become the first flop film by Aditya chopra.
Critics reviews :
- Rohit Vats from Hindustantimes gave 2.5 star out of 5 star and stated that “Befikre values entertainment as much as you want those Rs 100 notes these days. Be sure of getting entertained by Ranveer Singh’s charisma and Vaani Kapoor’s French. But, don’t wish for more.The Yash Raj bank too delivers under restrictions.”
- Nihit Bhave of Times of India critics gave star from 5 star and writes that “Befikre has some honest, funny moments and the attempt to upgrade the genre is apparent, but you don’t come away with anything new. If you care for some laughs, some YRF nostalgia and are, well, promiscuous with your choice of romcoms, you could take a chance with this one.”
- Anna MM Vetticad from Firstpost gave star out of 5 star and noted that “Even Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor’s boundless verve, all that kissing, unbridled sex and tiny Western clothing cannot mask Befikre’s traditionalist core.”
- Raja Sen from rediff.com rated only 1.5 star from 5 star and writes that “At a point when our mainstream cinema is beginning to grow up, Befikre is painfully childish drivel that proves to be a maddening waste of time.It starts out shrill, turns predictable, and ends up chaotic.”
- Anupama Chopra of filmcompanion gave highest rating .5 star out of 5 star and mentioned that “Aditya Chopra Manages To Reinvent Himself With This Modern Romance, Befikre is much too long. There is also a noticeable dip in the second half and the farcical ending isn’t entirely satisfying. But there’s enough magic here to leave you with a smile.”
