"Being a tiger or helicopter parent often becomes a point of pride, and there is much to be said here — but we must wait for a better film to say it."Read full review ↗
"Helicopter Eela is so saddled with banal story-telling, stretched sub-plots and exaggerated performances, including and especially from the lead actress, that it never really takes off."Read full review ↗
"Kajol and Riddhi Sen feature in this story about a middle-aged, middle-class woman who must rediscover herself and find a life outside of her son. It's a worthy idea but the narration is almost entirely lacking in insight or authenticity POSTED"Read full review ↗
"A wonderful actress already, Kajol is the sure shot reason you love watching Helicopter Eela throughout."Read full review ↗
"Helicopter Eela is a fun ride that manages to land safely despite some turbulence. Watch this simple and endearing tale of motherly love with your mom in tow."Read full review ↗
"Helicopter Eela doesn't lack entertainment, thanks to Riddhi Sen's superb performance, but it could have been a better film with a tighter first half."Read full review ↗
"Helicopter Eela is a loud, tone-deaf mother-son coming-of-age saga that lacks insights and observational humour"Read full review ↗

The artificial nature of Helicopter Eela which further translates into oversmart takes on college/teen life, single-mother-son relationship, and one's quest a assuming a creative career makes you want to hate it. TN.
Riddhi Sen and Kajol, the two gifted Bongs from Hindi cinema, buck up play mom-and-son. It's admirable that Kajol has started playing her age, but this bloated, bland, bizarre and ultimately dumb film can't quite fill up its loopholes and is an ultimate weakling in an year when we had a stronger ensemble of women-oriented performances. It's not only the most unwatchable film till now this year, it is also the most unnecessary one. I am going with 1 star for 'Helicopter Eela'.
