minutes of love saga, which gets increasingly irritating, you stop caring if they are together or not, because going by the storyline, it seemed like they didn't care either. Jain makes a strictly decent debut, he definitely needs a lot more grooming while Deeksha seems to have the potential though this was not the platform to judge her talent. Nishi Tiwari of Rediff called the film 'A bit of mess' and summarised, "Lekar Hum Deewana Dil would have done much better for itself had it tried to find its original voice, instead of pandering to a vague idea of what sells when it comes to love stories." She gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5. Madhureeta Mukherjee for The Economic Times assigned 2.5 stars out of 5, "The chemistry between the two is affable, but the daily bickering that is cutesy at start, becomes repetitive. Also, the story is far from unique. On the contrary, Taran Adarsh for Bollywood Hungama felt, "On the whole, LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL has several wonderful moments and genuine sparks that stay with you. The film should appeal to its target audience – the youth." Overseas Naheed Israr for the newspaper Dawn wrote, "Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is purely for entertainment – so don't expect more from it. The story may be traditional, but it doesn't let you get bored." Mumtaz Khusro for News on Sunday stated that Lekar Hum Deewana Dil wasn't a patch on either of the excellent movies like Saathiya or Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na and thus, she called the film a bit of embarrassing and rated it 1.5 on 5. Anupriya Kumar for Reuters wrote, "It is an insipid disaster. Go for "Lekar Hum Deewana Dil" if clichéd plots, bad acting and occasional bursts of actual fun do the trick for you. Director Arif Ali's Lekar Hum Deewana Dil will try your patience from the word go." Sneha May Francis of Emirates 24/7 stated, "While the new star kid (Armaan Jain) on the block is sincere, his romance appears like a bizarre mix of old Bollywood love stories. At two hours and twenty minutes, Arif's predictable love story is a drag, and definitely not the finest." Box office The film released on 1300 screens in India. The film collected gross on the opening day and gross after the first three days. References External links 2010s Hindi-language films 2014 romantic
