The tragedy is that Yeh Faasley isn't even unintentionally funny so it doesn't make the grade of so-bad-that-it's-good. It's just pure tedium

The film begins promisingly, setting up little mysteries. But too soon, the plot starts developing holes, and the execution turns lax. Not even the interesting cast can save this from sinking

Indian Express

It becomes a film notable only for Kher's powerful performance as the father who is given to outbursts of violent temper. But it's not enough though to save a patchy film from certain death by disinterest.

India Today

Yeh Faasley has an interesting premise, but its writers make a complete mess of it and what eventually unfolds on celluloid is mincemeat of a brilliant thought

BollywoodHungama

The film does show flashes of substance and form, but there's a whole lot of flab that renders it formless
