Critics Review
2.00
The Dulquer factor is the only saving grace of this witless, charmless sham posturing as satire.
The role needed the comic timing of Juhi Chawla and feisty spirit of Kareena Kapoor's Geet Dhillon. Sonam plays her like an airhead channelling her inner Asit Sen. Although more class monitor than captain, the Dulquer factor is the only saving grace of this bland confection. His charisma and cricket are up to the mark. Still interested in luck and Zoya?(more)

Sonam Kapoor and Dulquer Salmaan film is no sixer
The Zoya Factor is disappointing, as there was a lot more that could have been done with it. It could have been more entertaining and crisp, or even a wholesome romantic comedy. In the end, it just feels like a lot of watery Maggi without masala.(more)

Dulquer Salmaan hits it out of the park
For a rom-com which needs to be light on its feet, hitting fours and sixes as it goes along, the writing is not as supple as it should have been. Too many slog overs here.(more)

This one delivers on the ball
The Zoya Factor is a fun, frothy film that pits superstitions versus strategy and self-belief versus luck. And delightfully uses India's cricket craze to deliver a thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining film.(more)

Sonam Kapoor Hits The Ball Out Of The Park In This Erratic Knock
The Zoya Factor could have been a thoroughly enjoyable comedy. It ends up being a scrappy, erratic knock where a few crisp strokes are hopelessly outnumbered by a host of ungainly heave-hos. The film does not hit the sweet spot often enough to translate into either a truly rousing cricket film or a memorably moving love story.(more)

Sonam Kapoor-Dulquer Salmaan film offers feel-good vibes but little else
The film doesn't ask you to apply your brains. If you are a cricket fan and enjoy chick flicks, Sonam's over-the-top act and Dulquer's good looks will hold your attention. A good watch with your friends where the fun lasts only till the film does.(more)

Not all about eve
Despite the film being a rickety ride and Dulquer Salmaan not being utilised to his best potential, the Malayalam star still ends up playing the most rounded role of the lot. He steals the show with his mere presence that is both intelligent and charming in a believable, non filmi way. He gives the very few and far between dreamy, mushy moments that are a key to any opposites attract love story. Wish there could be more of them here. The look he gives Zoya, suffused with an amused affection, was enough to melt my geriatric, fossilised heart. What to say for the fresh and fledgling ones.(more)
