What 8 critics are saying
Critics are nearly unanimous in their negative assessment of Tell Me O Kkhuda, with scores clustered at the low end of the scale. The only aspect to receive any praise across reviews is the Turkish cinematography, noted by at least one critic as breathtaking, though insufficient to compensate for the film's broader failings. Critics consistently lambasted the script as erratic and poorly structured, with the direction drawing particular criticism for its immature handling of a complex subject and repetitive emotional beats. The film was widely deemed exhausting and forgettable, with its sole novelty being the nostalgic appeal of veteran actors sharing the screen.

3.0On the whole, TELL ME O KKHUDA has an erratic script, which works in bits and spurts. That, honestly, isn't enough!

3.0Hema Malini chooses to direct similar emotionally-charged scenes on loop, this time in Turkey. The cinematography here is breathtaking but unfortunately not enough to keep you hooked.

3.0This one is strictly for old-timers who could get a high seeing Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor in the same frame even if it is for just a few minutes. The rest would be happier watching Shah Rukh's antics in 3-D.

2.0By the end of it, you neither remember the music [Pritam], the camerawork, the editing or for that matter, the reason why you wanted to watch the film in the first place.

2.0The immature way in which Hema Malini deals with this complex subject is what is absolutely shocking. It's a joke. And a terrible one at that. Also, there is no flow to the story and every attempt to find her real father turns into something of a farce

2.0Extreme love for the progeny produces corruption in several societies. It produces some terribly inspired entertainment in India. Few grudge the latter as much, I suppose. They don't have to sit through it, if they don't wish to. I didn't have a choice.

1.0On the whole, Tell Me O Kkhuda does not have the merits to make any mark at the box-office.
