Mausam is a film where almost as much goes wrong as right

The Hindu

The problem with 'Mausam' is that it's shrouded in a cloak of self-importance; everyone from the actors to the writer-director appears to be taking himself too seriously, as if determined to deliver nothing short of an epic

This story of star-crossed lovers is meant to unfold like some epic romance but collapses under the weight of its own high ambition

Setting out with a script with better drama, leave aside a plot, could’ve helped its scale more

Hindustan Times

Mausam starts like a dewy-fresh spring morning, where everything is familiar yet new. It then wilts, autumnal overtones taking over. And then never quite recovers, falling into a dreary never-ending winter.

Indian Express

While there is little doubt that Mausam is an honest effort to make a beautiful, even epic film, it is way off the mark, missing layers, and struggles to stay afloat

Mumbai Mirror

Some movies are timeless, this one lasts forever

Tehelka

The old-world charm of Mausam is likeable, but doesn't salvage it. In the end, the only thing epic about the film is its unwarranted length

As manipulative masala tearjerkers go, it's a film that tries relatively earnestly and certainly one that occasionally looks striking, but disappoints overall.

Rediff

A series of unfortunate, preposterous events

The Sunday Guardian

Every scene is beautifully shot, the romance is meant to grow on you with its artful glances and coy exchanges. But instead of a slow burn, it's just plain exhaustion

India Today

Writer-director Kapur orchestrates the emotional ups and downs of his tale with a commendable degree of moderation for the most part. Mausam is certainly worth a viewing

Mausam has lots to offer to the viewer who doesn't mind his cinema languorous, laid back and moody, with loads of beauty

Times of India

A colossal disappointment
