Critic consensus

What 8 critics are saying

Critical consensus on Nasha is overwhelmingly negative, with most reviewers finding the film a disappointment on multiple fronts. Where any mild praise exists, it is directed at the film's occasional attempt to tell an emotional story and the male lead Sahil's portrayal of teenage infatuation, as noted by a minority of critics. However, the majority of critics harshly condemned Poonam Pandey's acting abilities and found the film neither effective as an erotic drama nor as a straightforward love story. Several reviewers explicitly warned audiences to avoid the film entirely.

    Film review ·

    The 'erotic' love story belongs to the film's teeny boppers, especially Sahil, whose innocence, infatuation and vulnerability keeps you glued to your seat for the two hours it lasts.
  2. Mumbai Mirror

    Film review ·

    Nasha unselfishly makes an attempt to stay away from unnecessary sex and tell a story, but ultimately, like school in summer, it's not got class.

    Nasha should have been titled Sazaa as it neither titillates nor pushes the envelope in storytelling or execution. Don't fall for this one!

    Film review ·

    Nasha is misleading as it gives you a wrong impression of being an erotica. It is the chronicles of a lust stricken puppy faced teenager. I don't usually get this impish but Nasha epitomizes cinematic crap with such outrageous confidence that you'll be appalled. I am going with 1/5 and an advise that Poonam Pandey should retire off already and spare us any further disasters!

    Film review ·

    This film has exposed the 'acting' skills of Poonam Pandey and I am sure any sensible film maker will think twice before signing her. It is a cheap and dangerous Nasha that should be avoided at all costs! Read more at: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/nasha-review/1/296476.html
