Thumbs up, by Subhash K Jha, Bolly Spice : ...Namaste England is beautifully shot by Yiannis Manolopoulos. The film looks and feels as though it has been shot in a dreamscape. The free-floating baby-shower feeling sees the saga to its unimpeded end. Of course Param and his truant bride (now fully sobered-down) live happily ever after. Given the film’s blithe mood that isn’t a spoiler. It is the need of the hour.... full review

Thumbs down, Bollywood Hungama : ...On the whole, NAMASTE ENGLAND is an extremely poor fare and is riddled with a terrible script and a juvenile screenplay. At the box office, it will face a tough time and will not find favour with the audience.... full review

Thumbs down, by Mayur Sanap, Deccan Chronicle : ...With poor-plot, banal lead characters and overall nothing really interesting, Namaste England is a romantic-comedy that falls short on both accounts. The film had the potential to be a real crowd pleaser, but it feels forced, confused and takes the audience for granted. It is better to say good-bye to this one.... full review

Thumbs down, by Meena Iyer, DNA : ...The music (Mannan Shaah, Badshah, Rishi Rich) has the Punjabi upbeat quality about it. But sadly, not one song stays in mind after you exit the theatre. The supporting cast, too, doesn’t offer any act that you can remember. In fact, Gurnaam Singh (Satish Kaushik) who is a thrifty travel agent with his innumerable ‘darlings’ is so bad; it makes you shudder.... full review

Thumbs down, by Rahul Desai, Film Companion : ...ill then, films like Namaste England will ensure that, in the spirit of true nationalism, India continues to avenge its colonization by shooting trash on British shores today.... full review

Thumbs down, by Devesh Sharma, Filmfare : ...Both Parineeti and Arjun are in need of a hit and to that end they try hard to spice up the proceedings. However, their heroic efforts aren’t enough to salvage the disjointed story and screenplay. Tracks like Tere liye, Proper Patola and Tu meri main tera, do add some flair but it’s a case of too little, too late...... full review

Thumbs down, by UDITA JHUNJHUNWALA, FirstPost : ...The loose direction, tepid interaction between the leads, an immature premise, dull locations, and Jasmeet and Param’s illogical actions are exasperating. Namaste England is so dated in its ideas, storytelling and design that it even makes a stimulating city like London look rusty.... full review

Thumbs down, by "Jyoti Sharma Bawa ", Hindustan Times : ...The biggest loser, however, in all of this is England. After LoveYatri earlier this month and now Namaste England, we completely agree with the above confused desi when he says Britishers should stop giving visa to Indians. Or at least to Indian film crews till better sense prevails.... full review

Thumbs down, by Umesh Punwani, koimoi : ...All said and done, there are good films, there are bad films, there are movies like MSG: The Messenger, Gunda, Race 3 and then there’s a movie like Namaste England. If you’re going to watch Badhaai Ho and are unable to get the tickets, come back home and watch Namaste London.... full review

Thumbs down, by Mohar Basu, MiD DAY : ...Namaste England is a shabbier version of Namaste London. In what may be seen as his attempt at inspiring laughs, Kapoor's deshbhakti speech is peppered with tiresome comical claims, like these: India has sent a spacecraft to Mars for "the cost of a rickshaw ride". Also, India will be a safe haven for Americans and Britishers to migrate to, in the next 50 years. While Namaste London wasn't particularly a gem, it at least had the brilliant... full review

Thumbs down, by Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV : ...Seriously, one more film of this quality and the careers of Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra could be in grave jeopardy. Hopefully, these two young actors know better. And one more movie of this kind and England could well contemplate slamming its doors on Bollywood storytellers. We do not see how the salutation that the film extends could soften the blow that this monstrosity delivers.... full review

Thumbs down, by Rajeev Masand, News18.com : ...It’s hard to apply a traditional rating yardstick to a film that’s bereft of logic, or possesses even a modicum of common sense or plausibility. I’m going to skip rating Namaste England. Yes, this is that kind of awful film.... full review

Thumbs down, by Manisha Lakhe, Now Running.com : ...Jasmeet is married to Param. But Jasmeet's grandpa and brother don't want her to ever work because women are made to bear children and take care of men. Jasmeet thinks moving to England will give her freedom to work. She will stop at nothing to get to England, including 'getting married' in name only to a rich Brit when she realises Param will never get a visa. Param then goes the illegal route to bring her back, pretending to marry another rich Brit when he gets there. Far-fetched, ridiculous... full review

Thumbs down, by Urvi Parikh, Rediff : ...Namaste England drags after a point. You neither sympathise with the actors nor empathise with them. I won't recommend you to go through this one. Instead, watch Namastey London once again!... full review

Thumbs down, by SHILPA JAMKHANDIKAR, Reuters : ...None of this has any hope of working on screen, and the acting makes it worse. As if Arjun Kapoor’s “Johnny Bravo” haircut wasn’t distracting enough, the actor can barely muster up two expressions. Chopra is no better, sleepwalking through a role that didn’t have too much meat in the first place.... full review

Thumbs down, by Nandini Ramnath, Scroll.in : ...There is barely a moment of relief from the tedium of watching the leads go through the motions and tuning into the poorly written dialogue and endlessly uninvolving moments. Parineeti Chopra’s usual sparkiness is missing, and Jasmeet’s inherent submissiveness and inability to stand up to Param makes her a character not worth fighting for.... full review

Thumbs down, by Namrata Joshi, The Hindu : ...There is a flat, half baked subplot about illegal immigration and the usual righteous show of desh bhakti. And not a single intelligent moment to balance out the daftness on display. Just what were the makers thinking when they were hatching this senseless film in their collective head!... full review

Thumbs down, by Rachit Gupta, Times of India : ...The music, lead by tracks like 'Bhare Bazaar', 'Tu Meri' and 'Proper Patola', is far more entertaining than the film. 'Namaste England' has a lot of promise, but the film just isn’t able to shake off the ill-effects of clichéd storytelling. This one’s a classic case of love's labour lost.... full review
