Critic consensus

What 30 critics are saying

Critical reception for 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon' is largely negative to mixed, with most reviewers finding the film derivative, illogical, and regressive in its treatment of its bigamy-driven premise. Several critics singled out supporting performances from Varun Sharma and, to a lesser extent, Jamie Lever as genuine highlights, while Kapil Sharma's own comic moments received qualified praise from a minority of reviewers. The script's weak construction, forced situations, and outdated gender attitudes drew consistent criticism across outlets. The film was broadly recommended only to devoted fans of Kapil Sharma's television-style humour, with the caveat that logic be entirely abandoned.

    The only reason not to run out of the theatre, screaming, is that Sharma displays a surprising flair for underplaying.

    Even if one walks into Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon with zero expectation, the film would still be hard pressed to measure up. Verdict: If you have any pyaar to spare, shower it on better fare.

    Well all said and done KKPK is a good fun provided you are ready to leave your brains outside the theatre while watching this amusingly light weight harmless dumb laughter where a man marries three women, does karva chauth with all of the three together and is planning to marriage his lady love for his cahutha (fourth marriage).

    Off and on Abbas Mustan's purported comedy will remind you of the Govinda comedies directed by David Dhawan and Anees Bazmi's Sandwich. To his credit Kapil carries off the lighter moments with elan. But he is disastrous doing conventional romantic songs and other heroic stuff.

    If you are looking for having a few laughs at the cinemas this week, and have the stomach to digest a dumb comedy, then Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon is for you! Watch it for Kapil Sharma's impressive debut!

    If you're a Kapil Sharma fan, chances are you'll enjoy this one too. The brand and level of comedy is just the same as on his show.

    Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon will require you to literally leave logic, intelligence and common sense behind. Having said that Kapil Sharma's comedy flick is thoroughly enjoyable and will make you laugh through out. Definitely worth the watch.

    ...has an unimaginable script something hard to believe but just watch it, at your own risk.
  9. Zee News

    Film review ·

    ... there are some good moments too but sadly they are few! The theme of the wedding sequence towards the end will actually make you laugh! Based on contrived circumstances, this script is deeply flawed.

    Film review ·

    ...though the film hangs on a flimsy plot the duo manage to extract huge Laugh Out Loud moments from the goings-on on screen.
  11. Hindustan Times

    Film review ·

    KKPK establishes Kapil Sharma's acting skills beyond doubt, but he couldn't have made a worse choice. Watch the film only if you are a hopeless fan of the comedian. For us, even his talent was not enough to save the regressive and non-original film.
  12. Jagran

    Film review ·

    The film, however, does make you laugh out loud in parts — at some points, because it is genuinely funny, but mostly in sheer exasperation at the absurdity of it all.
  13. KoiMoi

    Film review ·

    In case you know how to handle dumb humor, this film will make you laugh and if not, God save you. This is not Kapil Sharma's best attempt at comedy. In the name of a decent plot, you get 'Babaji Ka Thullu'...
  14. Rediff

    Film review ·

    The few jokes that do work in this illogical, tardy drivel have more to do with how idiotic they are then amusing. But mostly you cringe at the sight of Kapil posing next to the full moon from a multi-storey's terrace whilst his starry-eyed wives conduct the Karva Chauth ritual for the four-timing half's long life.

    Film review ·

    One wonders if we'll always be stuck with comedies, that in an attempt to be massy, end up as regressive and stuck in a time-warp.
  16. Times Of India

    Film review ·

    Arbaaz Khan and Varun Sharma deserve a special mention for they are hilarious. The girls look pretty and the samandar song is beautiful but if you want to see the film solely for Kapil's brand of humour, you get babaji ka thullu.
  17. NowRunning

    Film review ·

    The humour comes in the form of witty dialogues and the situations, albeit oft seen and forced, with no logical links.
  18. PinkVilla

    Film review ·

    This hare-brained, idiotic buffoonery stoops too low for laughs and if you have any dignity and an inkling of respect for humour, give Kapil Sharma's debut debacle a miss. As Mrs Funnybones writes, nothing is life is sacred, except laughter....Respect it!
