This Is The Comedy We Deserved & Story We Needed
The film is colorful which adds to the feel-good factor of the film. Prasanna has captured some real middle-class family junctures which no other director has been able to do till now. At any moment the film could�ve jumped to the other side and be a sex comedy, but it�s the control over the story writing by Prasanna that saves the film big time.(more)

Nothing dysfunctional about it
Director RS Prasanna does a commendable job in keeping a North Indian essence intact with a clean family entertainer. Surprisingly, the film has a mass appeal considering it is set in Delhi and Haridwar. It is relatable to a person viewing in the metros as well. (more)

Movie Review
R S Prasanna�s direction is neat but gets a bit haywire later on. But overall, it�s a fine job, especially for tackling such a subject. Also, few scenes are exceptionally directed like Sugandha taking Mudit to a park to seduce him (notice how smoothly this scene changes from being funny to moving), Sugandha's father and uncle suddenly realising how they are so similar, the doctor sequence, Mudit entering the Haridwar mansion again but in a better way etc(more)

The Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar starrer suffers from a sit-com flatness
Director R Prasanna plays it for laughs. It�s that kind of film. Otherwise the problems arising out of erectile dysfunction would turn into a dry anatomy lesson. And the characters surrounding our sad-sack lovers, Mudit�s mother and father, and Sugu�s parents and younger brother, plus sundry uncles and aunts and best friends, are all part of the ha-ha-hee-hee brigade.(more)

Movie Review
Ayushmann and Bhumi are able to recreate the magic of being together on-screen, even if their characters aren't exactly new or challenging to either actor. But it works, so there's no need to fix it. Additionally, they're surrounded by a group of talented supporting actors who blend in seamlessly without being too overbearing. This makes the comedy work exactly how and when it's meant to without stooping to raunchy humour. (more)

Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar Are Bright And Energetic In This Breezy Tale
Director R S Prasanna skirts around the potential pitfalls with the help of loads of maturity and a consistently light touch. The result: this comedic tale on love and lust caught in a zone of grave uncertainty never flirts with prurience.(more)

Ayushmann and Bhumi are fabulous in this joyride
The fabulous ensemble cast is complemented by Shubh Mangal Saavdhan's lead actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar. Bringing their chemistry from Dum Laga Ke Haisha to this film, the two fit perfectly into their roles. Their love story is fraught with many problems, but making the audience laugh is not one of them. The couple moves from struggling to deal with the task at hand, erectile dysfunction, to being swamped by unwonted suggestion from all quarters.(more)

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan is a winner all the way!
Bhumi Pednekar may have a wobbly Delhi accent but she compliments Ayushmann's vulnerability with a fire that's reminiscent of Shabana Azmi and a goodness that becomes Deepti Naval. Every time she's on screen, it's easy to believe great things will happen -- races will be won, toilets will be built and Rocket Saiyyan will rise to the occasion. Also, I've yet to see someone blend algebra and aam papad so seamlessly in one sentence.(more)

The film fails to get it up despite Ayushmann Khuranna�s fine act
Prasanna aims to make us laugh, he mostly disappoints. To begin with, he focusses on the lead characters, making the supporting actors look like the unnecessary crowd around them. For us to empathise and identify with a story like this, the entire family and friends need to be well-established in the film, along with the lead characters � this is a traditional nort Indian family set-up where even a �hero� cannot escape the wrath of the chacha/fufa. For the uncle�s anger to feel genuine or the friend�s taunts to feel real, we also need to know them a little more.(more)
