2/5
I haven't seen the original but today, it's hard to find laughs in three lecherous old men sitting in a park and staring at women. Go to Full Review Mihir Fadnavis Firstpost 05/02/2018
There is literally nothing in this film to make you like it, unless you really dig regressive cinema. It's also very difficult to analyze or have an educated film discussion on the film. Go to Full Review Sudhish Kamath The Hindu 05/02/2018
While the main plot is a bit of a downer, the unexpected laughs from Akshay Kumar more than make it worth your time. This is a sub-plot that deserves a stand-alone film. Go to Full Review Madhureeta Mukherjee The Times of India 05/02/2018
3/5
The terrific threesome play their parts with ease and Lisa adds oomph and colour to the 'grey' streaks. Go to Full Review Manjusha Radhakrishnan Gulf News (UAE) 08/31/2017
2/5
Watch this if you are a fan of Akshay Kumar and can turn a blind eye to some blatant objectification of women. Go to Full Review Shilpa Jamkhandikar Reuters 06/23/2017
If only Kumar were the main plot. When the movie returns to the randy old scarecrows, it feels like an anti-climax and just one more hackneyed, derivative film in a Bollywood library that's already brimming with them. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more 06/25/2015 An extremely disappointing re-creation of the original which too was hardly a classic. The story was always lame and grating but the original had some decent laughters. See more 05/10/2015 Day: Wednesday Date: 6 May 2015 Time: 9.30 pm With: Maa, Azeem On: HDTV See more 11/10/2014 Pity them who have gone by the reveiws and given "The Shaukeens" a miss..A total laugh riot and full on entertainment. Akshay's comic sense Great...Annu Kapoor and Anupam Kher needless to comment on...but the surprise package was Piyush Mishra and Lisa Haydon both were Superb....Though in the lines of the old Basu Chatterjee's "Shaukeen" yet This new one "The Shaukeens" is hilarious in its own ways....If you haven't better go and see for some hearty laughs .... See more 11/09/2014 Story of 3 old guys who are still looking for sex with a young girl. Some moments are genuinely funny. Akshay Kumar has played role of himself and did scenes laughing at himself.An Ok Movie. See more Read all reviews
