The film's slow pacing, excessive length, and weak second half were the most commonly cited flaws.

    Film review ·

    Love Breakups Zindagi should be treated as a stepping stone to something more substantial -- and original -- from the threesome.

    Film review ·

    A story that is close to everyone's heart, no matter what age you are at. It has as its central theme relationship complications, which are not new to anyone.

    Film review ·

    My final take – it is difficult to rate a movie like Love Breakups Zindagi, which isn't good enough to be called a 'must-see' nor bad enough to be called a 'must-not-see'.

    Film review ·

    On the whole, LOVE BREAKUPS ZINDAGI has moments that leave an impression, but they are few and far between. Besides, a weak second hour, excessive length and sluggish pacing makes it a tedious experience!
  5. Hindustan Times

    Film review ·

    The film, a romantic comedy as you can tell, surveys the rich, urban, over-dressed Indian young, where clothes are sponsored by designers Ritu Kumar and Manav Gangwani, and BMW is the sedan of choice.

    Film review ·

    If you like cute, cheesy, breezy love stories then Love Breakups Zindagi is for you.
  7. The Navhind Times

    Film review ·

    The story of two people, who are already engaged to their respective partners, falling in love has been done several times before, but yet director Sahil Sangha's Love Breakups Zindagi has just enough spark not to be dismissed entirely.
  8. KoiMoi

    Film review

    Love Breakups Zindagi is a dull fare which will not get much love from the paying public. The excruciatingly slow pace of the drama, the lack of emotions in the film based on relationships, and the lack of novelty make this a tedious viewing experience.
