Funny and something different. Like always Abhay Deol is a delight to watch but so are all the other characters. Few Pakistani actors in this film which makes the movie more interesting to watch. There is a clear difference in the delivery of dialogs from hindi speaking actors to urdu speaking actors and I have say, there is something quite royal and genuine about urdu delivery in scripts. Overall this is a fun to watch movie and can be safely be watched with family elders and kids unlike most other movies. This is an older film by some years but still has a better storyline compared to whats been coming out lately. Nothing too fancy or over the top which makes your blood pressure stay normal also lol! Good watch. We watched both parts. Part 1 is funnier and not cringy. 2nd part is just okay though.
After recently hearing about this film being banned in Pakistan and being a son of both Pakistani parents, I felt the need to write this review to make sure this film is watched by all.
This film deserves great recognition for making a movie that has an unique and entertaining storyline across both India and Pakistan. The theatre I went to was packed with families and we are enjoyed this movie for showing a positive side to Pakistan and the friendship between both India and Pakistan. The acting was well played by their respective characters, the music was okay, and the scenery of Lahore was beautiful.
I urge people to watch this film and take your families and elderly relatives because this is a feel- good movie by the time it's done.

A small yet impactfull movie.. Yet another typically arranged marriage escaping movie but very well executed.
A good story line, which I guess never been told before.
A good Indo-Pak relation is proposed to be set in days to come in the history of both the countries.
All actors have played their best of work.
Jimmy has played as always a less spoken person but very very very amazingly talented and power-pack performance...
Abhay also managed to justify his role very well..
Diana has very well tried but still lot of missing things were there in her performance, In-fact I am not convinced with the idea of casting Diana in this movie. A very dull performance given by LEAD actress..
Music is amazingly good.. Songs are too good..
In a way the movie is such a good that hides a poor performance of Diana.. All NINE stars are given by me is for movie except DIANA..
I think a squeal is needed for HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI, but not with DIANA PANTY...
Good job DONE...

It is a jovial movie with pangs of seriousness and sarcasms. Diana character in movie is similar to Kangana in Tanu weds Manu and hence was not veritable. Even the character of Jimmy is repeated in the movie from Tanu weds Manu. Despite of wanting of novelty, I will vindicate it from duplicacy because the script was new and refreshing. Tinge of romance and lots of chortle is what makes this movie a success.I loved the volubility and inexorable nature of Diana's character.Abhay Deol commemorates his character perfectly. Momal Shiek is new face and need to improve her acting skills greatly. I was intrigued by the song "Tera Tera" of the movie.
From the trailer one would get interested in the movie just to find what would happen if a young bride accidentally runs away from borders of India to Pakistan. Would it be too grave consequences as projected by Sarjit? Would it be like Bajrangi Bhaijaan? How the story writer will take the story further? First half of movie is full of comedy. Few in audience can be seen bursting into loud laughter on the punch lines. These must be those who understand Urdu words like 'Tashrif'. Second half should have been able to take the movie equally or higher level of comedy. Abhay Deol performance is good and natural. Overall it a time pass. There will not be a regret of wasting time and money.
