Critic Reviews
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) Review: Unrequited Love as a Karan Johar Showreel
★★★☆☆
Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai, and Fawad Khan in a Europe-hopping heartbreak musical — gorgeous, self-absorbed, and thinner than its playlist.
Mixed-to-yes if you want the songs; skip if you need the characters to be people.
