The film, which has a satirical take on the problem of open deification that exists in the heartland of India released in Dubai today, and the first reviews are out! Gulfnews in their 2.5 star review wrote that Toilet: Ek Prem Katha “comes across as a star-driven propaganda vehicle.” However, Akshay and Bhumi have been appreciated as the critic writes that they “do a splendid job of playing small-towners. It is Pednekar’s second film and she has an impressive command over her role as a feisty rebel,” adding that “they are charming as a couple and their romantic escapades are endearing.” While the first half is “smooth” according to the reviewer, it’s the second half “that gets constipated, and that the “premise which is intriguing and novel becomes repetitive and laboured.” ALSO READ: Toilet: Ek Prem Katha Box Office Collection: Akshay Kumar And Bhumi Pednekar’s Film Should Earn Rs 45 Crore Over The Weekend, Predicts Trade Expert Also Read - Akshay Kumar's New Poster: Bell Bottom Makers Unveil Actor's New Look on His Birthday
