Critic consensus

What 5 critics are saying

Critical reception for Sadda Adda is largely negative, with reviewers finding the film dull and unfocused. The ensemble of young male leads received limited acknowledgment as a relative bright spot, though critics felt they were not engaging enough to sustain the film. Common criticisms centered on a weak, directionless script and a lack of merit, with multiple reviewers advising audiences to skip the film entirely. Only one critic offered a mildly positive assessment, suggesting the film may resonate narrowly with college-aged viewers.

    This one begins with a disclaimer: As long as you dare to dream (and as long as you remain focused), nothing can go wrong. Ironically, the script seems to lose focus from the very word go....

    The movie should strike the right chord with audience from within the college community and those who have just begun their professional career.

  4. DNA India

    Film review ·

    The boys are a fun lot but not fun enough to keep you entertained throughout. Skip this adda and pick up a DVD of Pyaar Ka Punchnama instead.

  5. KoiMoi

    Film review

    Sadda Adda is a dull fare. Given its poor start on the one hand and lack of merits on the other, it will fail to make any mark at the box-office.
