Papu Can`t Dance Saala Review By:

Nikhat Kazmi - Times Of India - Ratings 3/5

 The film takes an interesting look at the lives of all the small town aspirants who come chasing their dreams to Mumbai, mega city, carrying the baggage of their native culture with them. Vidhyadhar has been brought up in a middle class family in Benares while Mehak is a middle class girl from Kohlapur. While Mumbai's cosmo culture has seduced Mehak, Vidhyadhar still dreams of the ghats of Benares.

Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - Ratings 2/5

PAPPU CAN'T DANCE SAALA is about two people from different worlds. Vidyadhar [Vinay Pathak] has just shifted from Banaras to Mumbai. A man with old world values who finds it difficult to adjust in the city... Mehak [Neha Dhupia] is a dancer in Bollywood. She has learned the tricks of surviving in this fast-paced city. She is loud and jazzy... They're neighbors who, due to certain circumstances, somehow get stuck in the same flat... and thus begins their story!
PAPPU CAN'T DANCE SAALA is unlike a Saurabh Shukla film. This time, to quote him, he's gone 'commercial', aiming for the mass audience. PAPPU CAN'T DANCE SAALA shows promise at the start; the character of Vinay Pathak specifically seems straight out of life. Though Vinay has been cast in a similar mould in the past, the actor brings that variation in his character that makes the goings-on watchable. Also, the sequences when Vinay and Neha clash -- first, when Neha organizes a party at her flat and next, when they meet the members of the Society to voice their grievances -- are truly enjoyable.

3ups and downs: Neha Dhupia shocks you with her confidence and the way she carries her character. Neha-Vinay chemistry gets a thumbs up. And, the final word- you won't miss much if you miss this one. Catch it if you having nothing to do this weekend.

Rajeev Masand - CNN-IBN - Ratings 2/5

Predictably, the film goes down the romantic-comedy route from this point on, and there are some charming moments between the leads. Unfortunately, however, the script meanders in its final act to focus on the relatively inconsequential subplot of Dhupia's sudden career upswing…and here the film has lost you.I'm going with two out of five for director Saurabh Shukla's 'Pappu Can't Dance Saala'. Too bad they didn't spend more time hammering out a better script.

Mayank Shekhar - Hindustan Times - Ratings 2/5

Watching pontifications like these, sitting on some metropolitan ivory tower or the other, you can’t help but wonder what we make of the quintessential “chhote shehar ka (small-town) middle class” common man sometimes. The one here lectures us on virtues of sanskar over sex. The ‘item girl’ calls him Pappu, which is an affront that all men with Pappu for a nickname are used to: whether in songs, ads, or films, and their titles.
Pappu finds his girl in an agitated mode once. He quickly diagnoses her condition to be pre-menstrual stress, gifts her sanitary napkins. Is Pappu an imbecile? Or, wait; this is supposed to be funny? Okay, then.

Komal Nahta - Koimoi - Ratings 1.5/5

What’s Good: The realistic comedy; performances of the actors.
What’s Bad: Repetitiveness of the drama; the lack of a believable conflict in the second half.
Verdict:Pappu Can’t Dance Saala is an entertainer but only upto a point. It will work to an extent in a few multiplexes but that’s not enough to fetch returns.
Watch or not?: Watch it for the comedy and the performances.
