The film is light and breezy, and mercifully never turns too syrupy for your taste

This picture though, smartly written and filmed, is mellow yet dramatic, softer, subtler, more ‘plush interiors’ American rom-com

Hindustan Times

The film passes by pleasantly enough past all its expected roadsigns, providing a smile and an occasional chuckle but making you wish for more newness

Indian Express

Kareena Kapoor is the life of this breezy romcom, with a typically Hollywood template and some charming moments

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu is an imaginative reversal of the traditional romcom format that effectively uses the setting of Las Vegas and its rickety instant marriage laws

Mumbai Mirror

A delightful film that keeps getting better along the way, and ends fabulously

There are no extra moments in the film and it compares easily to any Hollywood flick, for being a good-looking film.

A sweet coming of age film, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu rises above its numerologically incorrect spelling

India Today

EMAET is the sweetest heartbreak that Bollywood has conjured in a long, long time

Times of India

The film never overdoes the cutesy onscreen scribbles or faux-family photos. It’s clever enough, but never overly so

Firstpost

This take on love is refined, smart, lively and thoroughly pleasing thanks to its characters, conversations and the inherent humor
