    They should have told in some way that there are no sewer lines and how the toilets in rural areas are different from urban ones!

    This was a big drawback of the movie. Not all of us are experts on the status of sanitation and toilets in Rural places.

    The movie(especially the attitude of the father) didn't make much sense to me because of all of the time I assumed that there is a sewer line obviously, at the place shown in the film. I had no idea how the toilets are constructed in rural areas where there are no sewer lines. If this was somehow(may be subtly or indirectly), communicated to the viewers, many of us would have enjoyed the whole movie a lot more and it would also have been much more meaningful to us!

    Agar Biwi Chahiye Ghar me Pass to Ghar mein hona padega sandas

    I myself never thought of watching this movie having a weird kind of name Toilet -Ek Prem katha....but once the movie starts and shows the struggle of two lovers just for a toilet....it becomes interesting at each and every moment ...the film never looses its grip from the story and keeps on astonishing with surprises and twists....Moreover the at each and every moment there is a logic for. Normally which we don't see in some of the third grade comedy movies...Songs also beautifully inserted into the movies without feeling you bored over there even if you are not a song lover.....More than this the movies ultimate aim is to fight against the narrow minded ness of the society which thinks a toilet can not be built in Home and that will opoosite of our culture...but the things it beautifully explains to those who think like this in their own language ...Thanks Akshay and his team for choosing this subject for the benefit of society and for viewers an ultimate comedy movie

    its outstanding

    Akshay Kumar again proved his choice of scripts and Also proved his acting skills once again, No doubt he is most versatile actor in his generation. He is simply outstanding. Movie is outstanding because of ultimate script, awesome acting performance and no doubt Modi's swaksh bharat abhiyan. Praising swakcha bharart abhiyan in entertaining manner is not a crime. Please go and watch this movie for suddha entertainment.

    nice movie

    i wonder why people saying this is a bad movie. the movie is nicely acted and the love story is a part of it. In comparison to the crap released today, this one is very nice and entertaining movie.

    i hope people see it in neutral view. we should encourage such movies. off course there is some drama, but why not, its a movie. You can watch this with your family.
