Critic consensus

What 13 critics are saying

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.

    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.

    Film review ·

    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.

  6. Bollywood Life

    Film review ·

    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.

    Film review ·

    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.

  8. Times Of India

    Film review ·

    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...

  9. Mumbai Mirror

    Film review ·

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

  12. The Free Press Journal

    Film review ·

    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!
