It's all pleasant enough, but falls short of being as genuinely different as Clean Slate claims its films to be. Go to Full Review
Andy Webster New York Times Mar 26, 2017
"Phillauri" is a Bollywood movie toggling between a contemporary screwball rom-com and a sweeping historical love story. Balancing both proves to be challenging. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
What we're left with eventually is the sound and the undying spirit of a hybrid fairytale, just not the consistency of one. Go to Full Review

3/5
With his body language and voice modulation, Suraj Sharma nails the confused-aimless millennial and lightens the mood. Mehreen Pirzada's helpless and hopelessly-in-love Anu is endearing. Go to Full Review

4/5
Phillauri is truly a fun film. For romance enthusiasts, this movies got everything. For the casual movie goer, it's got the right amount of humour. Go to Full Review

You know what's coming long before it plays out and that makes it tedious and soul-destroying. Go to Full Review

Harry P Jan 18, 2019 One of the worst movies ever made after meri pyari Bindu. Horrible horrible. It's just plain crap..
Theodore P Jul 31, 2017 Such a original and beautiful cinema!! People have very poor taste in movies it seems.
Poe R Jul 25, 2017 This could have been a good comedy, but took itself too seriously. A good story wasted
Anakin L Jun 24, 2017 Brilliant story & performances. Definitely worth much higher rating than here on rotten tomatoes.
Theodore W May 30, 2017 From the start the movie seemed lame, it's a wonder I sat through it till the end, utter waste of time. They had an idea but didn't know how to execute it, from casting, to script , to songs to direction, everything which could possible go wrong went wrong. See more
Hagrid P Apr 16, 2017 Liked it to watch once. Kept me engaged whole time
