Acting is commendable they both have lifted their acting skill , a well suited role they have got, but there is problem with other things , movie started quite slow & once its start picking pace its quite predictable in the end so you know the killer before the end.

Blown Away!!
BollyButler26 July 2019
Bravo Bollywood! Breaking new frontier and how! Kangana solidified her status as the reigning actor and Raj Kumar Rao was his usual chameleon self. Music could have been better but that's not a deterrent for a cinephile at all!
Knockout performances
beevenkat28 July 2019
U can criticize #JudgementallHaiKya but u definitely cant ignore it. Hats off to plucky producers #ektakapoor n #shaileshrsingh for narrating a story which no other mainstream film would dare to. Girl is supposed to be mental. She visualizes situations n characters that exist only in her insane head. Boy is her tenant, hes well behaved n hes happily married. So whys girl stalking boy? Why does she feel that hes upto no good? Knockout performances by kangana n rajkummar make this film immensely watchable. Cant wait to see the next venture of director #prakashkovelamudi. Rating 3.5/5.

BOLLYWOOD'S FIRST ATTEMPT OF MENTAL COMEDY TURNING INTO PSYCHO THRILLER
SAMTHEBESTEST26 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
JUDGEMENTALL HAI KYA REVIEW :
Bollywood is going experimental now days and it seems like audience is loving it. We have seen so many experimental products but only few of them gets noticed by critics and audience. Many Small Budget experimental projects did not even come to people's watchlist but Judgemenall Hai Kya is thankfully coming from Big Production house and Popular names in the star cast. Lets welcome, Judgementall Hai Kya in that club, Kangana and Rajkummar brings an Experimental yet Commendable film to you.
Judgementall Hai Kya is a story of Mental Character Bobby played by Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao who plays multiple characters (Spoiler). Calling it an experimental script would be unfair because It is a mainstream script but it is handled in different way, hence Experimental. It takes you into the Mental World that you being a Non-Mental person want to escape it but can't escape untill the reality is opened at the end. The film is totally driven by Kangana Ranaut's Naturally Mental act. She overshadowed a talented actor on her opposite side but then we have Rajkummar Rao as the Surprise Package at the end. Rest of the cast doesn't get too much, still good enough. Screenplay for the same remains Average as it is filled with some Boring moments which could have been a Good Busy Job for Editor. Music wise, Wakhra Swag tops the list but in the Film it is wasted. It would have been useful and worked better if they had fit it somewhere in the middle of the screenplay. Prakash Kovelamudi as the director seats comfortably on his chair, although he could made it more interesting and engaging.
Not every film is Intellectual stuff so Let's not go too deep into it, those minuses doesn't really matter as the Climax does the trick for the Overall Impact of the film. We don't see such films in Bollywood so Judgementall Hai Kya being a Black Mental Comedy, little horror sometimes and then turning into a Psycho Thriller makes it's own place. At the end it tries to leave you thinking that should we really deserve to be judgemental to judge the Mental?
RATING- 6/10*

Promising Premise turned into Confusing Dilemma.
SoumikBanerjee199616 November 2019
It's one of those films that begins with a promising plot but lost its path in the midway.
Bollywood's first ever commercial approach to this specific genre has failed to impress!
Performances aside, The story was not that bad but the execution to the conclusive part left a Incomplete feeling overall. Makers have tried to portray the story with too much weirdness and quirkyness that transformed it into a mess. Although the technical sides were fully capable of pulling such efforts but lack of strict direction and overly usage of weirdness spoiled the entire game.
At the end it's a film that would be remembered for its failed attempt rather than the minor positives it tried to bring. Unfortunately.
A fresh take on psychological satire
Asphyxiod30 July 2019
Although, Anurag Kashyap could have pulled it off much better, the film-makers yet managed to nail it with good balance of style & substance. Surely, this film is not everyone's cup of tea 'cause its a very new platter of bizarreness & surrealism, something that's not a stereotype Bollywood.
The first quarter of the movie is a bit lame & has cringe-worthy moments wherein they introduce the characters whilst trying hard to feed the audience how bizarre & psychotic is Bobby, the lead, played by Kangana. Dialogs & moments that were meant to be funny can't even manage to get a smirk. Editing is quite abrupt and after every last line delivered, there's a moment of blank faces of characters just looking at each other as you wonder 'Ok...so, why....what are they thinking?'.
But the momentum gains when Bobby's obsession on Keshav (her tenant), rises and his wife is found dead. Editing dept. takes a sharp turn and starts to blend Bobby's psychosis with flashes of her delusions while the plot keeps rolling.
Satish Kaushik as the police detective was a bad choice as it was seemingly obvious that he can act no more. Rajkumar Rao's full potential wasn't explored but he makes a good screen presence. Kangana is surely the one who steals the show.
The pace of the movie increases further, high up till the climax with a twist. The Cinematography & Art direction especially in the second half is lavish & very well done. Red Herrings & Foreshadowing are appropriately used and nothing is overdone, making the movie crisp, subtle & short.
Overall, JHK is a refreshing experience and quite original to be in Bollywood's scarce list of Psychological thrillers; perhaps straight after Raman Raghav 2.0.

Awesome noir cinema
rizwanwaheed-4914227 July 2019
Great experimental film and quite modern take. Excellent 1st half, 2nd half drags a bit but grasps towards the end. Overall excellent film and not to be missed. Kangana is on another level, and surprises each time with her acting skills, Raj is excellent and gives great competition to Kangana. It's a must watch and definitely a quality cinema.
Thriller Movie
khaledshaik2 December 2020
A good treat, definitely not the best
ashutoshaswaleho26 July 2019
Performances from both the lead were as usually good, feels like they weren't playing their respective characters, like they both were living them. Since it's a thriller, 2 hours length was sufficient. The only flaw is the second half.
Boring thriller with a new presentation
baddu-155 August 2020
Superb
suniltomar-3189517 October 2019
After a long long time watched a wonderful crafted bollywood movie. Brilliant effort put up by the whole team in making this new experiment. Kangna and Rajkumar are way way ahead of their contemporaries in terms of acting. Story, direction, screenplay, acting and every other thing was superb. Really can say that bollywood is slowly slowly catching up with Hollywood.
Watchable, dark - suspense
harshi_tacoo13 January 2021
Interesting plot but poor presentation.
saptesh78625 August 2020
First half is interesting but later and climax part is boring. It could have been much better. Illusions of Kangana mostly irritates us and we do not understand what is real and what is not. Three characters moving around Kangana at climax is a stupid idea and gives us unreal feeling of this psycho thriller. There is no suspense in whole movie. It is open plot then climax should have better and effective. Kangana steals the show. Half better half boring movie.
This hate campaign is crushing creativity in the bollywood.
CineRenaissance27 July 2019
2nd half was a little bit louder than expected but it was a new experience. Some scenes were very subtle, and one could easily guess that common masses might fail to get it. A blend of humour, suspense and fine acting.
Overall a good movie, brilliant acting.

A new concept
ankeettimilsina26 July 2019
Save your time and watch any thriller/Whodunit on Netflix instead.
rajk-3146026 July 2019
Average 1st half and horrible 2nd half. Sloppy direction & inconsistent pacing takes away any fun it could have had.
Kangana is way too over the top. Seems like they took character of Kusum and dialled it to 11. Was expecting TWMR from Kangana. Got Revolver Rani instead. Rajkumar Rao is the only saving grace.
Overall, a cheap knock-off of a low budget Netflix thriller. Murder Mystery is a Masterpiece compared to this.

Something is wrong in rating system
dhavaljiya28 July 2019
Don't judge by low ratings
caspexclain16 November 2022
This is worth watching and I don't understand how this has such low ratings. I rate this a seven because of some technical issues I noticed in the movie and some other stuff regarding the story. Overall this is definitely worth watching, don't expect a masterpiece, but this is more than just "not bad". It's good. I loved how it makes you question yourself and the characters again and again. It really does live up to it's title once you watch the ending. I wouldn't say I wasted any time watching this movie. I watched this passively however this was a great time pass and a great movie. These kinds of movies is what I consider a 7.
Film makers went way off track.
mustafaaqil74126 July 2019
The concept was pretty good, but the whole parallel dimension scenario where Kangana goes into the other characters and scenes is poorly executed, it feels like it is 'weird' just for the sake of it. Also, the 3 weird characters she sees and talks to in the second half were totally cringy and it pretty much disengages the audience, Rajkumar rao was very good, all the actors did their job well, Kangana overacted a bit imo. Overall I didn't like it much
A Good Dark Comedy
desaipushya27 July 2019
One star for Rajkumar Rao only. Wait to watch on TV only one time that's all
p-essu26 July 2019
This movie is so bad what happen to kangana where's the queen actress or even tanu wed manu one. she keep doing overacting its an addition of revolver rani
and simran plus to confuse critics bring in rajkumar rao add few dark scenes plus murder mystery.
