    Film review ·

    In the end, the idealistic Amar Joshi does get manipulated by the big bad world of Bollywood and thrives in mediocrity. We just hope the audience doesn't fall for such tackiness!

    Film review ·

    As it is, it is a forgetful film laced with vulgar dialogues that pass for humour, worn out production values and acting that will make you cringe.
  3. DNA India

    Film review ·

    While the story is promising, the goings-on are drab and the humour is OTT. Suniel Shetty is strictly okay while Rajpal turns up his usual comic act. Besides that, the film has nothing to write home about.
  4. KoiMoi

    Film review ·

    Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai is long, winding movie that makes you wonder "Picture Aur Kitni Baki Hai?" It's only Rajpal Yadav's earnest acting that is saving grace.
