A young couple in London who are in a live-in relationship, struggle to co-exist with their bothersome guests who seem to overstay their welcome.

Critic Consensus

Critical consensus on Guest Iin London is overwhelmingly negative, with the vast majority of reviewers finding the film unfunny, lazy, and painful to watch. The London setting was noted by at least one critic as providing a marginally fresh visual backdrop, and a handful of Paresh Rawal's physical gags were acknowledged to land occasionally. However, critics widely condemned the film's reliance on crude and offensive humor, particularly fart-based jokes, alongside a weak and clichéd script and poor execution. Several reviewers considered it a pale imitation of the original Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge, with some calling it among the worst films of its release year.

Do you think crude jokes should be strewn liberally in your weekly flick fix? Should a gag, abysmally executed in the first place, be stretched out like a rubber band to keep you rolling in the aisles?Then Guest Iin London is just the ticket for you.

While some of jokes work swimmingly for example Rawal's entry gag where he brings an entire organization to a standstill while escorting his wife up the elevator, other gags simply apart. Much like the guests who overstay their welcome, come of the jokes also go on for too long. As writer-director Ashwni Dheer's roots are in television several plot point read like episodes from a television sitcom.

Guest Iin London is avoidable but if in case you don't get tickets for Mom, you can dare to watch this one but be ready to experience unsolicited farts for 138 minutes.

The funniest thing about this comedy is just how angry it can make you. Guest iin London, like its titular protagonist, is a burden no one should have to bear.

If you loved Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge, you better skip this one, for this is nothing but a poor, low-quality reboot of the 2010 movie.

It's a khichdi of a film which leads nowhere. It tries to be funny but it is not, it tries to get people's sympathy but fails there too, it tries to get serious and then again funny— the audience is super bored meanwhile. Better to avoid these guests.

...with the added layers of annoyance, Guest in London is in line to win the award for the worst film of the year.

Nothing can save this Paresh Rawal, Kartik Arayan film when it features songs on farts.

Guest Iin London is supposed to be a comedy, but laden with offensive jokes, Paresh Rawal's farts and poorly scripted characters, the film is painful to watch.

'Guest Iin London' is like a stale sequel which leave a bad taste for a long time.

Guest Iin London is shot entirely in foreign locations, so there's a bit of a fresh vibe to the setting. While that works in favour of the film, the comedy just isn't good enough. Ajay Devgn makes a brief cameo, but despite all attempts at making this film a masala entertainer, it never manages to rise above a trite script and some lackluster execution. Even if this film had good music, there would've been a silver lining to talk about. But there are no such redeeming qualities at all.
