Critic consensus

What 7 critics are saying

Critical reception for I, Me Aur Main is largely negative, with most reviewers awarding it around 40 out of 100. The supporting female cast, particularly Chitrangada Singh and Prachi Desai, drew selective praise for their performances. However, critics widely condemned the film for its weak plot, contrived and patchily written screenplay, and an overly forgiving treatment of its protagonist. The film's polished visual aesthetic was acknowledged but seen as insufficient compensation for its narrative shortcomings.

    The film, ultimately, rushes towards its hasty, unpredictable resolution that feels unconventional merely for the sake of it. I'm going with two out of five for 'I, Me Aur Main'. At less than two hours, it's hardly a slog. But you can't help feeling like real potential was squandered.

    This could have been a slap-up rom com. But the trouble with this good-looking movie is that it is patchily written and performed, and often feels contrived.

    Chitrangada strikes the right notes for the most part and Prachi Desai lends a bubbly energy to a few of the scenes. Both Zarina Wahab and Mini Mathur bring a touch of warmth to bear upon an otherwise hopelessly soggy film.

    Film review ·

    On the plus side, I, Me Aur Main has the glossy good looks of a TV ad - on the downside, it stays there.
  5. KoiMoi

    Film review ·

    I Me Aur Main is a flashy attempt to bluff audiences by putting together obviously beautiful actors in ornate celluloid frames in order to conceal a weak plot and shaky screenplay. Lock up your brains and ogle happily, in case you decide to go for the film.
  6. Rediff

    Film review ·

    I Me Aur Main falters with its plot, does a mild disservice to the ladies and is unreasonably forgiving of its protagonist. If you can get past that, it's a film you wouldn't mind watching once.
