Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Amber Galloway (lidahaut) I've only heard of this film 8 months ago, but that didn't stop me from watching it on the internet. After getting to watch it all the way, I think that it's decent for a Hindi animated film distributed by Disney, even if I can't understand half of what they're saying.I understand that it's intended to be a comedy film, but some of it was either confusing because of the Hindi dialogue, or wasn't funny at all. The songs, because it's also a musical, and in contrast to the comedy, are fantastic. The first and second songs on the soundtrack have been stuck in my head for a couple days now; The soundtrack is simply that fantastic.I would want to recommend the film, but somewhat terrible comedy, predictable story, and confusing dialogue makes such a decent film slightly not worth it to watch, but the great soundtrack makes for a great time with Romeo and his friends.
Arsenal411 Rubbish! I was really looking forward to this film, the start was quite captivating but then you're told this guy lived a life of glam but never actually see it and then from there I think it's just to raunchy and the dogs are too much in human form to really call it an animation. Whats with the constant singing man? Comeon, this really sucks! Rubbish!

Mohit Srivastava Just stepped out of this movie,my 50 cents:Strong Points:Charlie Anna by Javed Jaffrey. Released on the Festival Diwali.Weak Points: Weak/No - Story Line,Dialogs,Character Study Dialogs copied from Yashraj Movies Should have had a better voice than Saif for the Character Romeo (He Lacks the Variation in his Voice),so at least the main characters could hold the audience in the theater!Conclusion: Walt Disney, please live up to the expectations that have been set by Legends like WALL.E
Tareque Laskar In a world where Pixar sets the gold standard in animated films, Yash Raj Film's Roadside Romeo (incidentally Dinsey's foray into Bollywood as well) will find it hard to even pass the QC test. Both the animation and the story leave a lot to be desired and the only positive outlook for the movie is that being the only major release this Diwali and potentially a hit with the kids, it should barely manage to trudge along. The story of a dog, Romeo (voiced by Saif Ali Khan) who was living the lavish life and suddenly finds himself on the mean streets of the city is clichéd to a fault. Romeo falls for Laila (Kareena Kapoor) who also happens to be the crush of bad dog Charlie Anna (Javed Jaffrey) and predictable mayhem follows. Jugal Hansraj's direction relies too much on borrowing from Bollywood lore (Yash Raj film scenes and dialogs are copied galore) and too little on character study. It is an earnest effort perhaps but if anyone thought animation didn't need a story, they should ask the studio that made the animation movie event of the year, Wall•E. The film hardly has any genuinely funny moments, and the background sets, though well detailed, lack punch. The redeemer is eventually Javed Jaffrey, who is the only one who seems to know how to voice an animation character. He brings out the quirks of Charlie Anna superbly to life and provides the few laughs there are in the film. The tepid songs and a basic background score do nothing to add to the appeal. Ultimately, the gag reel during the end credits turns out to be funnier than the movie itself. And that's saying a lot.
