A core of feel-good humour within the rhythm of a con comedy, delivering crowd-pleasing warmth at the same time as some genuinely sharp laughs.

Top Critic. . .a noble effort to bring the thrills of Bollywood to America, but this magic carpet never quite gets off the ground because it traffics in too many cinematic clichés. . .

Top CriticThere's not a whole lot of heft to von Scherler Mayer's romantic comedy with ethnic Indian entanglements; it's like overdone naan, too flaky and ephemeral for its own good, but still somehow appetizing.
