Loins of Punjab Presents has such a transparent motive to entertain, mainly by making you laugh, and perhaps shed a tear that it charms you.

Maitland McDonagh
Time Out
It's frightfully formulaic, with nary a twist or turn on the patented mockumentary form.

Reyhan Harmanci
San Francisco Chronicle
An uninspired cultural comedy with a few sharp lines to recommend it.

Sam Adams
Los Angeles Times
The cast is personable even though their characters and the story are cliched.

V.A. Musetto
New York Post
Joins show-time antics to sociocultural commentary without reducing its characters, colorful as they are, to cartoons.

September 12, 2008 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Nathan Lee
New York Times
The concept is witty even if many jokes fall flat or are incomprehensible to outsiders, and it's an interesting angle on the inclusive ideal pitted against ethnic authenticity.

Stan Hall
Oregonian
The most obvious model for this sweet, low-budget production is Christopher Guest's Best in Show ... except with desis instead of doggies.

Andy Klein
Los Angeles CityBeat
The movie maintains a nice balance between affection for its fame-seekers and sharp jokes at their expense.

November 7, 2008 | Rating: 3/4

Bob Strauss
Los Angeles Daily News
The zany incomprehensibility of the title should serve as fair warning of the quirkfest to come.

Kristi Mitsuda
L.A. Weekly
... there's more than enough entertainment and self deprecation to fill theatres everywhere.
