Critical reviews
Her performance were appreciated with film critic Taran
Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama stating, "Alia's role is reminiscent of
Kareena Kapoor in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham . Stylish, classy, born with a
silver spoon, she's someone who loves to flaunt not just her clothes and bags,
but also her riches. Extremely photogenic , Alia makes a super-confident debut.
In fact, all three, Siddharth, Varun and Alia, are here to stay!". film
critic Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN wrote, "Alia Bhatt is cute as the
clueless Shanaya, if a little raw". film critic Komal Nahta commented, "
Alia Bhatt ends up with a very dumb-blonde role who has to do standard ramp
poses for the camera but she performs ably".Raedita Tandan from Filmfare
wrote, "Among the performances, Sidharth, Varun and Alia do their best not
to seem like newcomers and they emerge triumphant. And Alia definitely has what
it takes to be a star. The three make confident debuts". film critic
Anupama Chopra form Hindustan Times commented, "The leading lady, Shanaya,
played by Alia Bhatt, carries Hermes bags. She's like Poo from Kabhi Khushi
Kabhie Gham but without the killer attitude. Shanaya is substituting her lack
of family ties with designer labels. The boys are also given simplistic
backstories to explain why they are the way there are".
