Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Dec 16, 2025
2.5/5
Watch it for the array of solid performances, helmed by the wonderful Farida Jalal and Sheeba Chaddha, with Anup Soni’s criminally brief appearance leaving a mark. It isn’t perfect, but it makes you smile and think. Go to Full Review Anisha Rao India Today Oct 21, 2026
2.5/5
The Great Shamsuddin Family isn’t a film that sweeps you away, but it is one that leaves you thinking. It’s messy, warm, uneven, endearing and unexpectedly poignant. Go to Full Review Ashwin S The New Indian Express Oct 21, 2026
3/5

3.5/5
Though the film definitely builds a Bajrangi Bhaijaan world, it is ideal, it is cute, but it surely does not and cannot exist. Go to Full Review Arpita Sarkar OTTplay Oct 20, 2026
2/5
Despite its impressive cast and a potentially resonant theme about the burden of family expectations, the film's script is messy, the pace is uneven, and the characters never get a room to breathe due to the half-baked direction. Go to Full Review Anuj Kumar The Hindu Jan 10, 2026
Anusha Rizvi lays out the contours of the times without connecting the dots... Filled with female characters, careful not to let their agency wither, its life-like, uneven perspective is a welcome departure from the tidy tales of empowerment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
