Main Aur Mr. Riight is a film about love, relationships and singlehood. It's a story of 8 friends from different fields living their individual and successful lives. The story sails through each and everyone's life of which the major plot being that of Aliya & Sukhi. In the film, Aliya faces the challenge of turning Sukhi from a loud and immature Punjabi jatt boy to her sophisticated 'MR.RIGHT' while on the other hand Sukhi with his charm and persona changes Aliya and her friends' lives completely. In short it raises a question for all the individuals in the world, on the sheer existence of their Mr. / Miss Right.

Critic Consensus

Critical reception for Main Aur Mr. Riight is overwhelmingly negative, with most reviewers finding it a formulaic, synthetic, and predictable romantic comedy that fails to connect emotionally. Barun Sobti's performance is the one element multiple critics single out for praise, with several noting he elevates weak material. Shenaz Treasurywala's performance and the shallow, derivative screenplay draw the most consistent criticism, with reviewers pointing to poor execution, underdeveloped characters, and borrowed plotting as central flaws. Only one reviewer offered a moderately positive assessment, and even that was qualified by complaints about the second half.

Barun Sobti gets the hungry-actor look right, but Shenaz Treasurywala needed to be deeper...

MAIN AUR MR RIIGHT has the look and feel of QUEEN-raw and refreshing. If not for the second half aberrations, it would have been a money-spinner, too. Having said that, this film will go down well with the younger generation as it addresses the constant need of finding Mr. Right!

Shenaz Treasurywala reappears on the silver screen and looks ravishing in every frame. Barun Sobti's mainstream cinema debut will delight television fans. Give this movie a chance if you are looking for some light entertainment this weekend.

Main Aur Mr Right has much more to offer owing to several interesting elements — not just in terms of its story — that come across as a whiff of breath air. The sad part is they fizzle out either due to lack of depth in execution or plain ignorance concerning stark loopholes. A tighter film, featuring actors who can actually act, would have served the script better.

This story of a poor little rich girl falling for a rank opposite could have been cute in a rom-com kind of way. But everything in Main Aur Mr. Riight (that double 'i' is particularly bothersome), from the emotions to the characterization, is way too synthetic to leave an impact.

If you fancy American romcoms, you would be able to predict the ending of this film right at the beginning. It has drawn inspiration from various films, the most prominent being Jennifer Aniston-starrer Picture Perfect...

Without Barun, there is clearly nothing to see in the film and hence recommended only if you are a Sobti fan. If not, Main Aur Mr Riight is definitely not for you. And it should never be featured among rom-com movies.

...is as faulty as the spelling of 'right' in the title of the film. And no amount of numerology is going to help.

I've watched many poor movies this year, but none as consistently cringe-worthy as this delusional fashion parade.

Main aur Mr Riight is a tad too pretentiously philosophical to be taken seriously.

The only becoming factor here is TV hottie Barun Sobti's ability to make the unlikely transformation stick with some nifty acting. But for his resplendent ability to convince and engage, this defeatist enterprise would have sunk without a trace!
