Satish Kaushik and Zakir Hussain play cops and are delightful additions to the ensemble. They make you smile when stakes are heightened and manage to stand out. In all, the storyline is grounded and Khaali Peeli will certainly spring a pleasant surprise your way.

Click this link for detailsIn a nutshell, ‘Khaali Peeli’ has slow-mos and a background score that is faster than the heartbeat of an average young adult and on top of everything, a hot pair leading the show! But it derails every once in a while and you wonder – quite empathetically – why! Then again, if you are missing your regular dose of the larger-than-life heroes on celluloid, ‘Khaali Peeli’ is the turn you take – samajla na?

Rating Score -> 1.5/5
Click this link for detailsKhaali Peeli is a soggy affair. The popcorn entertainment it delivers has no crackle. With inanity snuffing out the effervescence Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday bring to the concoction, the final reading on the meter is ZERO.

Rating Score -> 2/5
Click this link for detailsAnd that’s really what this film does, overall. Khaali Peeli knows that it needs to refresh the tropes it is up against, and manages to do so only some of the time in its two-hour duration. As a pandemic time-pass, it serves. Just about.

Click this link for detailsKhaali Peeli, much like the title suggests, is a good enough option to while away your time on a couch this weekend. A popcorn-muncher straight from the belly of Bollywood, it’s a movie that will not ask much of you, and sometimes, that’s what we need from our movies.
6. Rediff -
Rating Score -> 1/5
Click this link for detailsIshaan and Ananya, bless their enthusiasm, have a ball play-acting. If the latter sounds like a parrot rattling off trashy street talk by memorising Rangeela, Ishaan exudes the air of an adolescent who believes he has become Rajni by lighting a smoke before the mirror. It's silly, it's shallow, it's Khaali Peeli. Khaali Peeli is available to stream at pay-per-view on Zeeplex.
7. Anupama Chopra -
Rating Score -> n/a
Click this link for detailsThe film tries to blend uncomfortable elements like this with Fast & Furious-style car chases and romance. Maqbool attempts to liven up the storytelling by jumping back and forth in time – so within the first fifteen minutes, the narrative goes back 10 years, then 35 minutes and then we’re back in present time. This leap-frogging continues through the film but it doesn’t add much vitality to the plot. Maqbool is a fan of top shots and mirrors. He designs a few thoughtful transitions. The use of locales and some chase sequences are impressive. But despite his best efforts, Khaali Peeli doesn’t become more than wannabe masala.
8. ABP News -
Rating Score -> 2/5
Click this link for detailsIshaan and Ananya clearly enjoy their all-out masala outing, almost oblivious to the cinematic mess they are thrown into. Despite the utterly formulaic spread, they look good as a ‘Jodi' -- never mind that they struggle to get the Mumbaiyya lingo right. The film should help Ishaan particularly, to prove his worth as a complete Bollywood package, if that was the intention. Watch this one for the lead pair if you must, for there is little else to recommend.

Click this link for detailsOn the whole, Khaali Peeli lacks in novelty but manages to entertain to an extent. Performances and dialogues are its scoring points, besides the many twists and turns in the script. It will be liked mainly by the youth which also seems to be its target audience.
