Critic consensus

What 5 critics are saying

Critical reception for Bromance is mixed, with most scores clustering around the average mark. Where reviewers find merit, it tends to be in the film's energetic performances and technical contributions from the composer, cinematographer, and editor. However, critics repeatedly flag an inconsistent and underdeveloped script, citing excessive reliance on certain plot devices, jokes that do not always land, and stretches of ineffective humour as the film's primary weaknesses.

  1. Cinema Express

    Film review ·

    Arun D Jose's Bromance delivers an energetic mix of comedy and utter mayhem, clearly aimed at Gen Z. And you know what? It mostly works.
  2. Indian Express

    Film review

    While Bromance succeeds on multiple fronts, it is undeniably the contributions of these three [composer, cinematographer, editor] that make it an engaging experience, even concealing many of its narrative shortcomings. However, the script stumbles due to its excessive reliance on certain elements and plot devices, limiting its ability to explore other promising directions and leaving many aspects of the story underdeveloped.
