Critic Consensus

Critical reception for 'Luv Ka The End' is mixed to negative, with most reviewers acknowledging it as a niche, audience-specific film aimed at young, urban viewers. Where praise exists, it centers on the peppy dialogue, relatable situations, and its status as a lighthearted chick flick for a mindless watch. However, several critics found the film's humor juvenile and reliant on stale comedic devices, its youth-oriented slang forced and irritating, and its treatment of certain subject matter offensive. The more skeptical reviewers questioned whether even its target demographic would find sufficient entertainment in its childish pranks and wannabe attitude.

But there's so little else in the film that it all flattens out in an alarming sit-com like fashion, as this very now film is reduced to using the creakiest comic devices from old-style Bollywood—itching powder, and laxatives.

This one is romance in reverse. And that's the only novelty the film can boast about. While most Bollywood love stories reach a fruition, Love Ka The End works feverishly -- and foolishly -- towards love's decimation.

So all the girls out there buckle up for one crazy night and don't miss this chic-flick.

On the whole, LUV KA THE END appeals to the sensibilities of Gen X. This one's for the yuppie Facebook and Twitter generation. Go, have a blast!

Peppy and conversational dialogue, relatable instances and a lot of madness make LKTE an enjoyable chick flick. Mostly appealing to the college going crowd, LKTE might just be downright unbearable for the others. We recommend this one if you're in the mood for a mindless watch.

6.0
It makes for an engaging, fun, and an enthusiastic outing. Easily forgettable, momentarily enjoyable, youthfully relevant, relishing such cinema once in a while is not a crime after all.

5.0
This film is not about young love at 18 as would be standard in a Bollywood film. Instead, the plot follows what happens when the perfect guy ends up to be a dog and what the perfect girl does when love goes wrong.

4.0
If this movie were true, yes. But it's not. So, not to worry, "babes" (yup, I hate that word too). "Chill!" Just tag along with these bozos, watch them enter a gay bar, without any context, as tranny strippers go, "Tera jism jism. Tera badan badan. Yeh toh hai bus, Mutton mutton." Luv it. Huh!

3.0
Luv Ka the End is uncomfortably icky, tediously wannabe and depressingly homophobic. So characters determinedly use youthful lingo like babes, chill, BFF and of course, aren't afraid of four letter words. Everybody is styled casual cool and we even have a new age mom giving lines like: I know love is hard baby.

On the whole, Luv Ka The End is interesting in parts only but the childish pranks of Rhea and group will not be appreciated even by the target audience – youth in the cities. At the box-office, it will not be able to do much.

2.0
The games Rhea, Jugs and Sonia play on Luv are childish and, therefore, do not have the desired impact at many places. The climax is not only very convenient, it is also contrived and confused. Luv Ka The End will not be able to do much at the box-office.
