    Some enjoyable elements

    'Shimla Mirchi' begins in a somewhat strong fashion, I found myself interested in the story that it presents. However, by the time the final scenes come around I kinda lost that interest.

    First, the positives. I like the dynamic between Avi and Naina, it works for the premise. Rajkummar Rao and Rakul Preet Singh come across well together, while Hema Malini does a good job as Rukmini. Decent cast.

    The plot surrounding the aforementioned three is fun for the first half, though once things become more settled and understood it ends up losing its way - the third act is tiresome, it feels very dragged out.

    This film has some enjoyable elements to it, with nice locations and solid music, but concludes in a rather dull manner.

    Not a Rajkumar Rao movie

    Very poor direction, Very poor screenplay, Very poor dialogue, Very poor story, Very poor acting.

    I dont blame Rajkummar Ra, bcoz we all know he is very talented actor. All discredit goes to the filmmaker team.

    Cute Premise, Average Performance

    I thought the premise of the movie in the trailer was a real fresh take on romantic comedies. The idea seemed super interesting until I saw the film.

    While the movie has moments that are funny and kind of cute, I was quite taken aback by the bad performances. A legend like Hema Malini acted like a caricature of her self, Rajkumar Rao tried his best to save the film but sadly the writing, directing and co-actors didn't really help him much. Rakul Preet's character is rather annoying and immature.

    I wish the movie was as good as the trailer. I'll give the movie a 5 on 10 for the honest effort put forward by Rajkumar Rao.

    Pathetic has a new name

    Subpar acting, below class script on any level. Not even a scenic shot of Shimla to remember. The only way to forget this movie is to watch something even worse! Unfortunately in this case, Shimla mirchi is truly a tough one to beat...
