Zero

Too ambitious in its vision and indiscriminately illogical, Rai falters in exploring both inner spaces and outer space.

[Characters] are individually interesting but the connective tissue between them is so thin that the narrative starts to wobble precariously.

In Zero, the defects are physical, propped up by special effects but lack a strong emotional connect.

Zero is a wild film that imagines a classless India in which a small town dwarf gets with a rocket scientist and a movie star, rejects them both, goes to Mars, and returns. It's the most misunderstood film of Shah Rukh Khan's career.

Thank the cosmos for Bollywood's dimpled wonder, his charisma and enthusiasm undiminished by his 53 years, because without him, Zero has little going for it.

The heavy-handed humour that it generates hinges on the character's lack of inches. Not funny at all.

The film might be the worst reminder of SRK's incompetence in completely inhabiting a character.

Zero is a funny film backed by a unique storyline and embellished with interesting elements like space travel that you may not have seen in Bollywood films before.

Zero is all heart. It probably won't work if you start thinking about the probability of it all, but after a wobbly half-hour I found the film easy to embrace.

A star, falling, once the count reaches zero. And crashing down to earth.
