A lightweight and sentimental exercise that succeeds at little except maybe inspiring the viewer to go out and find a decent curry.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

This combination of melodrama, comedy, music and romance eventually falls under the weight of its endlessly stereotypical characters, dialogue and situations.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

This movie's heart is in the right place, which is one way of saying it's terrible.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Parmar's film is light and sweet, comfort food dressed up with a dash of exotic spice.
