Dedh Ishqiya

Overall Rating: 4/5

Rohit Khilnani, India Today:  3.5/5

A pat on the back for Abhishek Chaubey who puts a tough film together and keeps us engrossed throughout. Music by Vishal Bhardwaj is not great here but his contribution in writing the dialogues for this film is the best thing to happen to Dedh Ishqiya.

Watch it, you won't be disappointed!

Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV:  4/5

Notwithstanding the title, there are no half measures in Dedh Ishqiya. 

From dilkashi to junoon, the start and end point respectively of Khalujaan’s take on the seven stages of love, the film has them both and everything in between and beyond.

Dedh Ishqiya is a must watch

Raja Sen, Rediff:  5/5

It's a sequel that leaves even a highly original first-part far behind. 

And, for a film so accessible, it’s armed with the most cunning, most delicious twist. It’s terrific -- and a half.

Dedhriffic, then

First Post: In short, Dedh Ishqiya is smarter, funnier, richer and way more gorgeous than its predecessor. If you're a fan of clever lines with terrific actors, great writing, masterful direction and Urdu poetry, Dedh Ishqiya hits your sweet spot. If you don’t really give a damn about any of this and just want a fun time at the movies, Dedh Ishqiya is perhaps the most hilarious thriller Bollywood has produced

                        

Meena Iyer , Times of India : 3.5/5

Vishal Bharadwaj's dialogue keeps you in splits. The free usage of words like sex and chu**yapaa tickle the funny bone. Naseer is back in super-form after straying in outings like Jackpot. Ditto Arshad. Madhuri looks gorgeous but the dhak-dhak girl (now woman) falls short on the oomph meter, as compared to Vidya Balan in Ishqiya. Huma Qureshi is interesting.

Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama 4/5

While ISHQIYA was earthy and rustic, one gets to witness an alternate universe in DEDH ISHQIYA. There are layers to the story that baffle you. This time, it's even more dicey and perilous. On the whole, DEDH ISHQIYA is a worthy follow up to the widely admired ISHQIYA. Powerful writing, superb direction and outstanding performances make DEDH ISHQIYA a must watch. Just don't miss it!

Daily Bhaskar Site:Dainik Bhaskar : 3.5/5

The film rides on a good story, great acting performances, brilliant screenplay, interesting dialogues and a twist, which will leave you awestruck. If Ishqiya was rustic, Dedh Ishqiya is royal. Just like the prequel Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad have given an outstanding performance. Dedh Ishqiya is fractionally better than its prequel.For all the cinema lovers, who prefer acting and story over masala, it’s time to book your seats.
