Luka Chuppi movie review: The film is helmed by Laxman Utekar.
Starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon, Luka Chhupi has hit the screens. The film also stars Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi and Vinay Pathak. The romantic comedy is directed by Laxman Utekar and is being produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films.
Luka Chuppi’s music has become immensely popular. While some of the tracks of the film are recreated like “Tu Laung Main Elaichi”, “Poster Lagwa Do” and “Coca Cola”, they are still being appreciated by the audience.
The film releases alongside Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Sonchiriya.
It was recently announced that Luka Chuppi will not be released in Pakistan following the Pulwama attack. Maddock Films also announced that they will also not release their upcoming films Made in China and Arjun Patiala in Pakistan.
"This could have been a fun, sharp film, done right. Instead, we get never-ending scenes of family members yakking, neighbours gossiping, and a few passages between Guddu and Rashmi which are meant to be sensuous and flirtatious (rolling in bed in shorts and Ts, haww, talking of ‘protection’, how forward, double haww). Aaryan and Sanon, in their first pairing, come off standard-issue Bollywood," The Indian Express' film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote in her review of the movie.

Indian Express' Mimansa Shekhar writes, "If you have waited for a feel-good family entertainer, then Luka Chuppi might quench your thirst. While the film tackles the topic of live-in relationships, it also offers several other subplots and a subtle social message. It explores things like religion, love jihad and ‘let love be’, but without getting preachy even once. It rather projects things with dollops of humour. The film’s USP is its perfect casting."
Sophie Choudry tweeted, "U r beyond lovely in #LukaChuppi @kritisanon not just cos u look so pretty but cos of ur fab performance!And Guddu, the girls & families will fall in love with u. Get set for lots of live in proposals @TheAaryanKartik ?Fab chemistry guys!Congrats on this funny, sweet, mad ride??."
Film trade analyst Girish Johar said, "Luka Chuppi is a colourful film and they have come out with a remix of many popular tracks which I believe has created decent buzz but still the chartbuster song is missing in its album. Nonetheless, awareness levels are quite high. I feel Luka Chuppi should earn somewhere around Rs 5 crore on its opening day.”

Asked if Luka Chupp will the perception of the society about live-in relationships, Kriti Sanon told indianexpress.com, "We are not trying to preach about live-in. We are just trying to say – live and let live. There are way more important issues in the film. And “let love be” is one of the things. I feel if two people are in love and want to spend their life together, only they should be the ones deciding how their lives should go."
