Ayushmann Khurrana film is ROFL all the way. But that's all

Raaj Shaandilyaa deserves credit for bringing something new to the table. However, his hesitation to delve deeper into the subject makes it score less on the report card. If you are looking for a light-hearted comedy this weekend, Ayushmann Khurrana�s Dream Girl should definitely be on your list.(more)

Ayushmann Khurrana & some excellent co-stars are funny despite bumpy writing

Ayushmann Khurrana is good as always in Dream Girl, especially while doing women's voices. His accents are not consistent though. His tendency to sometimes swallow words, which has been controlled by his directors in the past, is also occasionally a problem here, and is exacerbated by the sound design of Dream Girl which allows extraneous elements to drown out the spoken word here and there. Still, Khurrana holds the film together by ensuring that Puja is amusing but never a caricature.(more)

Ayushmann Khurrana saves the day

You stay watching Dream Girl for Khurrana. He plays Karam/Pooja with grace and conviction, and makes this thing sing. He is the one who has been shifting the goal-posts in the depiction of masculinity in status-quoist Bollywood, and this film, in which he plays both man-and-woman, minus preciousness and exaggeration, would have been the perfect vehicle to take the conversation a notch higher.(more)

Ayushmann Khurrana stays steady in this hatke comedy

At the end of it, the film slips in a message on loneliness, social media friends and having someone to talk to. Despite the flaws, 'Dream Girl' attempts to show the leading man in a different light, and manages to entertain in parts.(more)
