Critic Reviews for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

All Critics (16) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (8)

After the interval the film begins to unravel, turns sluggish, and the end doesn't quite hold.

Namrata Joshi
The Hindu
In the capable hands of actors who can siphon the nuances from a screenplay soaked in cliches, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil has many shining instances that reveal the poignant story Johar intended to tell.

Anisha Jhaveri
indieWire
Superstar Bollywood director Karan Johar keeps his fans happy with a bittersweet globetrotting romance.

Anil Sinanan
Time Out
Wink-wink references to other Bollywood features add spice to this lukewarm masala.

Joe Leydon
Variety
Everyone's solid work gets undone by a clumsily handled plot turn that suggests a failure of nerve around the central relationship.

Mike McCahill
Guardian
...after a while I lost interest in its rigmarole of relationships, the many datings and matings, break-ups and patch-ups, marriages, divorces, friendships...

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is by far Karan Johar's best film to date: mature, sure-handed and thoroughly entertaining.

Saibal Chatterjee
NDTV
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil offers little in terms of story and fails to get the audience empathise or feel for the characters and events in the movie. What it does offer is brilliance in the name of Ranbir and Anushka.

Sweta Kaushal
Hindustan Times
Anushka Sharma plays the most well-rounded character with abandon; she's remarkable. Ranbir's portrayal of the clumsy, turned-down one-sided lover is heartbreaking; his honesty comes through yet again.

Nihit Bhave
The Times of India
The very fact that this film successfully portrays love and its various facets with such deftness and control is its true success

Rachit Gupta
Filmfare
Heartbreak and unrequited love are gut-wrenching. Director Karan Johar makes it his mission to emotionally pummel us with them in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

September 5, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5

Manjusha Radhakrishnan
Gulf News (UAE)
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil has neither gravitas nor the charm to be worth remembering.
