Critic Reviews
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) Review: Friend-Zoned in Luxury
★★★☆☆
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is Karan Johar's glossy Hindi romance about one-sided love, rich in songs and star power but thinner in its characters than its music.
It depends. Fans of Karan Johar, Ranbir Kapoor and the soundtrack will find plenty to enjoy, but viewers who need convincing characters may find it long and self-absorbed.
