Ira Dubey plays the most interesting character in the fractured plot. She is an ambitious TV journalist chasing that one last scoop before her parents marry her off. This character deserves to be in a better film.

There’s a twist in the tale but it comes at a time when you’ve already lost interest in the entire sorry set-up. Most of what transpires is imminently predictable and unexciting. The basic premise had some promise but Japinder Kaur’s direction is totally uninspired. It’s all so heavy-duty and labored that even the light hearted moments fell like dead-weights.

Dilliwali Zaalim Girlfriend could be a better film with a different title. …we have low hopes of this film making big bucks based on the story and execution.

To sum it up, the title has no relevance to the story. You’d rather stick to watching the Cricket World Cup instead, for this one is quite zaalim on the senses.

As mainstream Hindi cinema often teaches us, when in doubt: Sting operation. When in further doubt, let the heroes ignore journalistic ethics and indulge in morally ambiguous hidden-camera tactics more criminal than the villain.

The film boasts of a unique plot filled with unexpected twists.If you have no plans for the weekend, watch this timepass romantic comedy.
