Arunima (Tena Desai) loves dad (Anupam Kher) who, she believes, loved her mom too. But her love is put to test when she begins to suspect her dad and holds him responsible for her mother’s death. Will the daughter avenge her mother’s death even if it means standing up against her father?
Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Yeh Faasley was overwhelmingly negative, with most reviewers awarding it between 10 and 40 out of 100. A small number of critics acknowledged an intriguing premise and occasional flashes of substance, particularly in the father-daughter dynamic, but these moments were universally seen as squandered. The film's weak, inconsistent screenplay and a pervasive sense of tedium were the most commonly cited failings, with several critics describing it as a chore to sit through. Anupam Kher and Pawan Malhotra's presence was noted, though reviewers lamented that their talents were wasted on the material.

"The film does show flashes of substance and form, but there's a whole lot of flab that renders it formless."Read full review ↗
"The tragedy is that Yeh Faasley isn't even unintentionally funny so it doesn't make the grade of so-bad-that-it's-good. It's just pure tedium. I'm going with one and a half stars."Read full review ↗
"'Yeh Faasley' has an intriguing premise. The connection between a father and a motherless daughter is usually made stronger because there is just the two of them, and that's what it seems when Devinder Devilal Dua ( Kher) is first shown rapping companionably with daughter Arunima ( Desai)."Read full review ↗
"eh Faasley is one those very few movies that works quite the opposite, the inconsistencies in the screenplay impossible to reason with."Read full review ↗
"YEH FAASLEY is like travelling a faasla of 100 kms only to find out, you have reached the wrong destination."Read full review ↗
"Wonder what was going on in Anupam Kher's head to agree to act in it. Shouldn't we, instead, just get nostalgic watching Kher's infinitely better act as an alcoholic father to Pooja Bhatt in the 1989 flick Daddy?"Read full review ↗
"You couldn't care less for the characters, let alone the frikin' killer. Anupam Kher's the film's leading man. Talented Pawan Malhotra plays the second lead. Which is good to know, so far as risking with top billings are concerned. Bombay films may still seem far from producing draws like a matured Meryl Streep. We could soon have Philip Seymour Hoffmans of our own. How about a "did he, did he not" like Doubt (2008) to match expectations from a script as well? Ah, never mind that."Read full review ↗
"Honestly, we wonder why this film was even released. Please do not subject yourself to the boring ride that is Yeh Faasley, especially because there are some fantastic Oscar-nominated films to pick from this weekend."Read full review ↗
"All in all, Yeh Faasley is a botched thriller. It will fail at the box-office on account of its extremely weak script and lack of face value."Read full review ↗
"Yeh Faasley will prove to be a resounding flop at the box-office. It is best to keep distance from Yeh Faasley."Read full review ↗
