Sonakshi Sinha is the winner in slow comedy on sex

But there is only so much a good actor can do when you get a loosely handled, lazily written script. Apart from a few good lines, the dialogues of Khandaani Shafakhana are mediocre. Writer Gautam Mehra takes up cudgels to make people comfortable with conversation on sex, but somewhere he himself doesn't seem at ease with it.(more)

In case you'd forgotten, Sonakshi Sinha is no Ayushmann Khurrana

As a nation, we need to talk about sex. We're obviously having enough of it to not be scandalised this easy. It's not all shock and haww.(more)

While Khandaani Shafakhana's intent is bang on, what it really needed was a heavier dose of humour and entertainment.

In the past, we have seen films like 'Vicky Donor' and 'Shubh Mangal Savadhan' handle sensitive subjects (read sperm donation and erectile dysfunction) with class, tact and comedy. While this film�s intent is bang on, what it really needed was a heavier dose of humour and entertainment.(more)

Sonakshi Sinha Carries The Film With Great Support From Badshah

Sonakshi not only gets into the swing and spirit of the drama with ease, she also contributes to setting the film's tone at the most crucial junctures. She receives great support from both Varun Sharma in the role of the heroine's brother and rapper Badshah, cast in his debut film as a pop star who has case history is hidden in the fertility clinic's dossier.(more)

Khandaani Shafakhana neither enlightens nor entertains,

Hard to say if Badshah's showy presence provides intended or unintentional chuckles but any day vague comic relief over Sonakshi Sinha's excessive frowning in a role that�s crying for the wit and wonderment of the 1990s Juhi Chawla. With so many maladies plaguing the movie, it's too bad there's nothing like a scriptwriting Shafakhana.(more)
