What 6 critics are saying

Critical reception for Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is mildly positive, with most reviewers characterizing it as passable, breezy entertainment best enjoyed without close scrutiny. The lead pair of Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza drew consistent praise for their sparkling chemistry and performances, and the film's second half and music were noted as relative strengths. Common criticisms include an unoriginal story with comparisons drawn to earlier films like Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin and Jab We Met, tonal inconsistency in the first half, and certain forced or over-the-top sequences including an unconvincing drunken scene and an unnecessary item number.

    On the whole, TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA is refreshing and succeeds in its endeavor of amusing and entertaining, more particularly in its second hour. In addition, the sparkling performances by Riteish and Genelia is the mainstay of the film.

    The film has its flaws. There's over the top emotional drama, the drunken Genelia scene which is completely unbelievable and mildly irritating. Of course the film could have done without the forced item song, where Veena Malik's artificially abundant bosom tries to charm and fails, but other than that, this one's a fun, breezy watch. Don't over analyse, don't think too much, just go watch and have fun.

    Film review ·

    Breezy romantic comedies generally thrive on witty dialogues and the chemistry of the lead pair. And Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya does have some crackling gags and one-liners. Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is one of those movies that you like for 10 minutes and then don't for the next 10. The cycle continues for long. But the climax is fairly engaging and the man who makes it happen is Om Puri. His rousing speech is what gives the movie its last burst of vitality.Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is passable popcorn fare.

    TNLHG could have been a good Valentine's Day release. Also, coming soon after the Riteish Geneila marriage, it would have added as a curiosity factor. All the same, this is a fun film worth a watch.

    Film review ·

    What's Good: Several comedy scenes; the hit music; the family drama; the emotional drama. What's Bad: Some clichéd comedy scenes; lack of justification for the love angle. Verdict: The entertaining second half and the hit music save Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya and make it a plus fare for Tips and UTV. Loo break: A couple in the first half.Watch or Not?: Watch it for getting entertained.

    Film review ·

    The story isn't exactly original or unique. Yet another romantic comedy, Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is in many ways reminiscent of Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, and the more recent blockbuster Jab We Met
