Reviews
Arjun Patiala received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Initially, the film appeared promising due to its talented cast and unique plotline, but it failed to deliver consistent entertainment. On IMDb, the movie holds a 4.4/10 rating. One viewer commented, 'The chemistry between Diljit Dosanjh and Varun Sharma is good, but the storyline is too thin to keep you engaged through the runtime.' On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an abysmal 0% rating, reflecting widespread disappointment among critics. One critic stated, 'Despite its humorous attempt at satire, Arjun Patiala falls flat with a script that lacks coherence and a plot that meanders aimlessly.' However, some audience members appreciated the light-hearted approach and slapstick humor, considering it as a passable comedy. One tweet noted, 'If you go with zero expectations, you might enjoy this over-the-top comedy for what it is.' The mixed reviews highlight that while Arjun Patiala delivers a few laughs, it overall misses the mark on creating a memorable cinematic experience.
