    Film review ·

    Wrinkle-Free is one of those films that mix charm and tedium in equal doses. Debutant director and writer Sandeep Mohan creates a clutch of quirky, permanently perplexed characters who are all struggling.
  2. DNA India

    Film review ·

    Every family is dysfunctional. The Monteiros are just a bit more. Be sure to have fun at their expense. It's clean indie fun at its best.

    Film review ·

    On the whole, despite the deficiencies, LOVE, WRINKLE-FREE is watchable and appealing, is humorous and amusing, especially because the director and the lead actors get it right. Deserves a watch!
  4. Times Of India

    Film review ·

    A traditional Goan woman in her late forties finds herself preggers, breaking cosmetic barriers; and dealing with a hubby whose ambitious business idea can spice up your sex life.

    Film review ·

    But for a first time effort, Love Wrinkle Free is definitely watchable if you can overlook some of its buffoonery and its exhausting length. It has genuinely funny moments, especially those featuring Chandler.
