What Worked:

The story is relatable and connects with the audience. The situations are ridiculous and quite hilarious! With Munmun's devotion to family values and the continuous reference to religion, the movie stays constant with themes throughout the story.

What Didn't:

As with many Bollywood movies, "Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?" can seem long at times. Some scenes were unnecessary and ran tangent to the main plot, which diluted the fun.

The Soundtrack:

The music to the film compliments the story line with a number of devotional tracks. Pritam does not deliver any dance numbers for the charts, but his music compliments the film quite well.

Slated or Rated:

"Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?" is a movie packed with laughs and relatable scenes. We recommend it to all families. Ajay Devgan delivers his eccentric character quite well, adding to the credibility of the story.

Rating:

3/5
