Thumbs down by Malvika Rao, BookmyShow ...bad chemistry between the lead pair and some very old laugh less gags. But none of that really matters to our whistling hooting audience. ... full review

Thumbs up by Ankur Pathak, Desi Martini ...I recommend this picture for the man who doesn't hide behind an autistic mask to gain sympathy or play an over-insolent collegian to inspire. He is himself, and he sets the turnstiles on fire when he is what he is. ... full review

Thumbs up by Smita, Desi Martini ...The only way to enjoy Ready is to watch it without a Dabanng hangover.... full review

Thumbs down by Deepa Gahlot, Film Impressions ...If people like this sort of thing, they are welcome to it… their money, their time, who’s to stop them. ... full review

Thumbs up by Sukanya Venkatraghavan, Filmfare ...Salman Khan’s nonchalant cockiness and absolute irreverance has to be marveled at. His comic timing is effortless and impeccable.... full review

Thumbs up by K K Rai, Filmfare ...A good fare.... full review

Thumbs down by Nupur Barua, fullhyd.com ...Asin is tolerable, despite her smug looks. She lets Salman overshadow her (wise decision, that).... full review

Thumbs up by Nitin Jain, Glamsham.com ...But unlike DABANGG, there aren't many dialogues or action sequences that you'll treasure for a long time. ... full review

Thumbs down by Mayank Shekhar, Hindustan Times ...There are loony dons. There's joint family. There's wedding. It shouldn't take you long to figure the film's been directed by Anees Bazmee ... full review

Thumbs down by Rajeev Masand, IBN Live ...you sit there in your seat watching 'Ready', and waiting for a joke - any joke, even half funny - to draw a laugh out of you. ... full review

So-So by Kaveree Bamzai, india today ...And he is charming. He blows kisses at Asin, who accepts them gratefully. He winks at the camera. He borrows happily from his own mythology... full review

Thumbs down by Shubhra Gupta, indian express ...I had some hopes that Asin would liven up the proceedings, like she did in `Ghajini’. But here she comes off like a cut-rate Sridevi, with the same kind of squeaky delivery, but without the sparkle or the spunk.... full review

Thumbs up by Komal Nahta, koimoi ...READY will score at the box-office, thanks to a great start, super-hit music, Salman Khan and entertainment in a good dose.... full review

So-So by Udita Jhunjhunwala, Live Mint ...It’s almost like a big tribute to, and summarized resume of, Khan’s films.... full review

So-So by Shubha Shetty-Saha, MiD DAY ...It seems like Sarath Saxena and Akhilendra Mishra were clearly instructed to go overboard and they have obeyed the director. ... full review

Thumbs down by Ankit Ojha, Planet Bollywood ...For a Telegu movie, the story and screenplay might have been alright, but for this belt, it just doesn’t seem to work.... full review

Thumbs down by Raja Sen, Rediff ...Mahesh Manjrekar [ Images ], Manoj Joshi, Sharat Saxena do what they can, but this film -- where the comedic highpoint is the fact that two morons are named after Salman flops, Veer and Yuuvraaj -- doesn't give anyone, especially the talented and creatively abused Paresh Rawal [ Images ], any wiggle room.... full review

So-So by Preeti Arora, Rediff ...ull of stale gags and contrived humour but makes for a perfect weekend watch if you are a die-hard Sallu fan... full review

Thumbs down by Khalid Mohamed, Review and views uncensored ...Ready, unsteady, don't go... full review

So-So by Nikhat Kazmi, Times of India ...The film is an unabashed ode to Salman Khan, the entertainer rather than the actor. ... full review

Thumbs down by Reel Reptile, Upper Stall ...Oh forget it, this review is officially over. Much like our patience with these nonsensical comedies that only reinforce the stereotypical notion of Indian cinema being nothing brainless song-and-dance musical extravaganzas to be watched instead of the local circus acts.... full review
