Rohan Naahar | Hindustan Times: - | 9/10
In an industry that routinely finds it difficult to produce tonally consistent films, and often views poverty through a romanticised lens, Serious Men is sharp from start to finish ... Full Review
Pallabi Dey Purkayastha | Times of India: 3.5/5 | 6.5/10
The serious men of our society are the laughing stock in ‘Serious Men’ and though the film reasonably manages to bring to light the conflict between the elite and the easily disposable, it fails to conclude what could have been an excellent social dialogue on a high note ... Full Review
Rohit Vats | News18: 4/5 | 8/10
It’s rudimentary yet deep, simple yet penetrating, serious yet funny. No wonder, they have called it Serious Men. These are seriously funny men or funnily serious men. One of the finest films of the year. Don’t even think of giving it a skip ... Full Review

Shubra Gupta | The Indian Express: 3/5 | 6.5/10
A bitingly sharp, satirical look at Aspirational India. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is very good, channelling Ayyan’s seething rage into something we can empathise with; the tender passion he exhibits with Indira Tiwari rounds off his character. Aakshath Das, as Adi, is perfect, and the real star of the movie ... Full Review
Saibal Chatterjee | NDTV: 3.5/5 | 7/10
Nawazuddin Siddiqui Holds The Fort As Only He Can. Sudhir Mishra's first-ever adaptation of a published book is no mean cinematic achievement - it is at once funny, sardonic, bitter, insightful and pugnacious ... Full Review

Teluguin: 3.5/5 | 7/10

Anna MM Vetticad | FirstPost: 2.5/5 | 5/10

DNAIndia: 3/5 | 6/10
Nawazuddin Siddiqui outdoes himself in this sharp film. 'Serious Men', addresses the caste system prevalent in our society subtly yet evidently and is able to capture the inner frustration of a man who knows he is a 'small molecule in the world', all too well. ... Full Review

Filmi Beat: 3/5 | 6/10
Serious Men is a predictable family drama about a father against the world, and yet it is also an endearing tale of a father who is all about his child. I would have loved to see the later more as the story's focus than the former ... Full Review

Biz Asia Live: 3.5/5 | 7/10

Peeping Moon: 3.5/5 | 7/10

Lens Men Reviews: - | 7.5/10
Sudhir Mishra and his pool of writers make sure that the peculiar ambitious nature of Mani is there even when the movie ends. With a flawlessly flowing Nawazuddin Siddiqui adding his bit, Serious Men is one movie you should give a try ... Full Review
