Critic consensus

What 5 critics are saying

Critical reception for Kerry on Kutton is largely negative to mixed, with most reviewers finding the film underwhelming or outright poor. Where praise exists, it is limited and qualified — Manisha Lakhe noted that dialogue and situations are funny in parts and that characters are well cast, though this was offset by weak direction. Common criticisms include meandering pacing, underdeveloped characters, and a reliance on crude humour, with several critics finding the overall experience unrewarding.

    Film review ·

    Remember the British Comedy Films in the 'Carry On' series? This film attempts to be that and then takes comedy into darker realms. The dialog and situations are very funny in parts, the characters are beautifully cast, but a better director would not allowed the film to meander all over the village.

    If you are still 'carrying' on reading this, I have good news to share. I was glad when the movie got over and you must also be glad now that this review is over.

    Film review ·

    Overall, this film would appeal to only those who are fond of witnessing crass and crude humour.
  4. The Hindu

    Film review ·

    For all its merits, it ultimately feels like an empty film that depends more on the quirks of the characters than the characters themselves. As a film that describes its protagonists as wannabe gangsters, it almost ends up being a victim of its own joke.
