As one of the film's many forgettable characters so eloquently puts it, "This stinks worse than an oyster's fart."

Overview
The Lovers is an epic romance time travel adventure film. Helmed by Roland Joffé from a story by Ajey Jhankar, the film is a sweeping tale of an impossible love set against the backdrop of the first Anglo-Maratha war across two time periods and continents and centred around four characters — a British officer in 18th century colonial India, the Indian woman he falls deeply in love with, an American present-day marine biologist and his wife.

There's a veil of artifice clinging to every aspect of "The Lovers," a thoroughly unconvincing time-traveling epic costume drama pairing a miscast Josh Hartnett and Bollywood beauty Bipasha Basu.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times

Suckers for romance likely won't complain, but this Josh Hartnett time-travel epic is nuts.

Time may bring good things to light, but the 2010 copyright suggests that delays have worked no such wonders for this film.

Rotten
It's so deadly and unintentionally funny (I hope) that it practically defies description. Mr. Joffe should go back to film school as soon as possible.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
