Thumbs up, by Subhash K Jha, Bolly Spice : ...But still, Angrezi Medium is a thing of a beauty and a joy for two and a half hours.One extra star in the rating only for Irrfan’s comeback.... full review

Thumbs up, by Shubha Shetty Saha, Free Press Journal : ...Watch this one for Irrfan for sure. He’s back after a long time and watching his performance will only make you realise how much you missed him and his talent.... full review

Thumbs up, by Vishal Verma, Glamsham.com : ...Still with its glaring flaws, ANGREZI MEDIUM is watchable thanks to the charming magic of Irrfan Khan throughout, the sweet father daughter bond and the banter with Deepak Dobriyal. Going with an extra one star for the incredible Irrfan Khan who is 10/10 in this movie.... full review

Thumbs up, by Divyanshi Sharma, india today : ...Watch this one for the incredible performances and raw emotions that it evokes. One thing that we guarantee after you step out of the theatre is that you will want to give your parents a tight hug and thank them for everything they have done.... full review

Thumbs up, by Umesh Punwani, koimoi : ...All said and done, you’ll love Angrezi Medium for a whole lot of things it says with the safeguard of comedy. The actors do their best to keep you well-connected with the story.... full review

Thumbs up, by Vaibhavi V Risbood, Pinkvilla : ...However, the star cast's gift of the gab, acting skills, and some witty one-liners take the shortest route to the audience's hearts. It is a hilarious and heart-warming account of a father-daughter relationship. It is a tale of friends, of coming of age, of small-town dreams obsessed with an illusion of studying in a foreign university, and of teenage rebellion to attain freedom from parents.... full review

Thumbs up, by ANISH MOHANTY, Planet Bollywood : ...‘Angrezi Medium’ does not turn out to be as memorable as ‘Hindi Medium’ but is a film that is consistently engaging, despite several moments of implausibility, and manages to deliver an important message quite effectively.... full review

Thumbs up, by Pallabi Dey Purkayastha, Times of India : ...'Angrezi Medium' does lose its grip on several occasions, what it does not lose is its hold on the emotion that it is trying to bring out, and the message it leaves you with.... full review

So-So, by Anna MM Vertticad, annavetticadgoes2themovies : ...Irrfan is returning to acting after a long break due to a health scare. He seems to have grown as an artiste in this time away from the public eye. He is so consumed by his character that the strain of doing an accent never once shows, nor does he, unlike many lesser actors in other films, allow that accent to overpower his sensitive performance. After The Lunchbox, Champak in Angrezi Medium must rank as among his best work. A fine performance for a fun film.... full review

So-So, Bollywood Hungama : ...On the whole, ANGREZI MEDIUM works only because of Irrfan Khan and Deepak Dobriyal's chemistry and also due to some touching moments. At the box office, HINDI MEDIUM’s goodwill and Irrfan's comeback will ensure decent footfalls for the movie over the weekend.... full review

So-So, by Pankaj Sabnani, Bollywood Life : ...Angrezi Medium has some great ideas but they don’t translate on screen. Even superlative performances by Irrfan, Radhika Madan and Deepak Dobriyal don’t prove enough. I’m going with 2.5 stars.... full review

So-So, by Deepa Gahlot, Deepa Gahlot : ...When given a half-way decent scene, Irrfan and Dobriyal lift it with their unbridled energy, but saving this film from its constant slides into absurdity is beyond their combined talents.... full review

So-So, by Aishwarya Vasudevan, DNA : ...The film has several laughter moments for its stupendous dialogues and expressions matched to it by the actors. But even the climax of the film didn't help and we wished there was a better ending to the story.... full review

So-So, by Anupama Chopra, Film Companion : ...I found myself teary at the end of Angrezi Medium. I was moved by Champak’s emotions. I was also moved by Irrfan, his strength and his resilience against the deadly disease he is currently battling – in an audio clip promoting the film, he called it an “unwanted mehman.”... full review

So-So, by Devesh Sharma, Filmfare : ...Irrfan Khan, as we know, was undergoing treatment for a near-fatal disease and was in much pain throughout the shooting of the film. So kudos to him for overcoming the odds and giving us another masterful performance. We only wish the script should have matched his heroic effort...... full review

So-So, by Madhuri V, Filmi Beat : ...Sachin-Jigar's music impresses in parts and pieces. 'Ek Zindagi' is a fast-paced track which motivates you to give wings to your dreams. 'Laadki' gets you sentimental with its heartfelt composition.... full review

So-So, by Kritika Deval, fullhyd.com : ...The music is upbeat but unexceptional, as is the cinematography.... full review

So-So, by Monika Rawal Kukreja, Hindustan Times : ...All said and done, Angrezi Medium, a potentially good film, falls prey to poor execution and a weak screenplay. And in the end, it is power packed performance from Irrfan and Deepak that saves this sinking ship and lets it sail through.... full review

So-So, by Ankur Pathak, Huffington Post : ...Anil Mehta has an eye of a magician. The celebrated cinematographer illuminates Udaipur magnificently, making the city of lakes appear like one of the gorgeous Mediterranean coastal towns. It’s a clever storytelling device, which ties up with the eventual ‘message’ of the film that India is no less than ‘foreign.’... full review

So-So, India TV : ...The urge to squeeze in too many sub plots and characters takes its toll as the film, after an engaging build-up in the first hour, meanders in the post-interval portion before reaching a rather insipid ending. What rescues the film from sinking are the three performances that matter. Irrfan, Deepak Dobriyal and Radhika Madan are first-rate.... full review

So-So, by R.M. Vijayakar, India West : ...Technically alright, the film has an excellent background score by Sachin-Jigar, though the songs sound nice only while on.... full review

So-So, by Shubhra Gupta, indian express : ...Angrezi Medium could just as well have been called Irrfan Returns. Watching this terrific actor lighting up the screen, of knowing about his medical struggles, and the fact that he did this film while still in treatment, gives it a special bittersweet flavour. Hindi or Angrezi, whatever the medium, Irrfan is truly the message, transmitting directly from the heart. Dil se.... full review

So-So, by Ambika Sachin, Khaleej Times : ...Watch Angrezi Medium if you enjoy desi movies and don't mind a slow-paced first half. Thankfully the laughs are in plenty and the acting topnotch so what if the drama veers into an unbelievable comedy in the second half?... full review

So-So, by Mayank Shekhar, MiD DAY : ...Can you watch an entire, two hours' thirty minutes' film for an actor alone? Didn't think would ever say that: But frankly, in this case — with so much else also playing between my head and the big screen — yes, you can. Or how can you not? Welcome back, Irrfan. Hope to see more of you. Better movies will inevitably follow.... full review

So-So, by Shalini Sur, Movie Talkies : ...I will give this film a three out of five stars and recommend to watch it once, just to experience the grace of a seasoned actor like Irrfan Khan. Also because of its highly relatable story of children wanting to pursue higher education in a foreign land and seeking independence with age, and how parents continuously second doubt their child's wishes, yet does every possible thing to ensure that their dreams are achieved.... full review

So-So, by Kunal Guha, Mumbai Mirror : ...Angrezi Medium doesn’t trust the audience to deduce much from the proceedings and opens with the ‘definition’ of a parent: someone who “loves selflessly”. If only director Homi Adajania would have trusted his material and not underlined and spelt out everything, this could’ve been a sharper and perhaps, more introspective watch.... full review

So-So, by Rajeev Masand, News18.com : ...In the end I feel like Angrezi Medium is one part clunky, and one part enjoyable. It’s not a perfect film – far from it – but I will admit I came out with a smile. I’m going with a generous three out of five.... full review

So-So, by Sukanya Verma, Rediff : ...Despite a superb set of actors at its disposal, Angrezi Medium squanders away their charisma to play undistinguished, unremarkable characters.... full review

So-So, by Nandini Ramnath, Scroll.in : ...Angrezi Medium really belongs to Deepak Dobriyal, who is in sync with the unrelenting wackiness. Dobriyal has turned playing to the gallery into an art, and he is completely credible even in the most incredulous scenes. Champak and Gopi make a hilarious odd couple.... full review

So-So, by Priyanka Roy, The Telegraph : ...It’s left to Irrfan and Deepak Dobriyal to do much of the heavy lifting to keep Angrezi Medium afloat. The two play off each other well, with Irrfan ensuring that you do walk out with a smile — despite the film’s overbearing sexist worldview — once the lights come on. Welcome back, Irrfan!... full review

Thumbs down, by Uday Bhatia, Live Mint : ...A film about a free and loving father-daughter relationship becomes a closed circuit. It’s that old cliché about setting someone free if you love them and seeing if they come back. But does Champak ever really set Tarika free?... full review

Thumbs down, by Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV : ...That, in a nutshell, is Angrezi Medium. It is Irrfan and Dobriyal all the way. To put it in not-so-plain Angrezi, the rest is just laboured artifice.... full review

Thumbs down, by Joginder Tuteja, Planet Bollywood : ...All in all, this is what the film as a whole is as well, a film which goes ahead in motions but without any emotions... full review

Thumbs down, by Namrata Joshi, The Hindu : ...The lesser characters get in to the film and out of it without any notice. Tillotama Shome was gone before I could take two sips of coffee. Strangely the only moments that worked for me were the ones involving a confrontation between the mother-daughter duo that Champak and his brother bump into in London. Dimple Kapadia and Kareena Kapoor, the lengths of their appearance notwithstanding are the actors who light up the screen for a brief time. It’s criminal to have not etched them and their relationship, well.... full review
