Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Apr 2, 2019
2.5/5
West Is West is drippy, but a still watchable sequel, in which the returning Jahangir-George [Khan] is re-united, temporarily, with a lost vantage. Go to Full Review
Deborah Ross The Spectator Aug 30, 2018
This film has no real purpose in and of itself, or none that I can think of, and simply exploits what residual affection you might have for the original. Go to Full Review
Rick Groen Globe and Mail Mar 25, 2011
3/4
It takes some getting used to, but be patient: Within the madness, there's definitely a method, and rewards for the reaping. Go to Full Review

2/5
Committing to too many storylines, West Is West is forced into a rushed final act that has a glut of neat conclusions that often spring up out of nowhere. Go to Full Review
Mohammad Mirbashiri emel Jul 21, 2021

2/5

Sep 6, 2018 It would have been more convincing if it had been filmed in Pakistan. Found too many inaccuracies to find it believable. Sajid was the only convincing Pakistani. See more
Hermione L Mar 5, 2011 Typical performance by Owen Wilson who injects a bit of humour into this dry predictable romcom.
