Heer Express Opens to Mixed Reviews as Divita Juneja Makes Her Big-Screen Debut

Early notices single out the newcomer’s screen presence, with repeated critiques of a predictable script and forgettable soundtrack.

Overview

  • Umesh Shukla’s Hindi family drama released in theatres on September 12, starring debutante Divita Juneja alongside Prit Kamani.
  • Free Press Journal offers a 3-star, broadly positive take, Rediff pans the film as forgettable, and Filmfare cites charm undercut by clichéd storytelling.
  • Critics describe a familiar Punjab-to-London premise built around a Punjabi dhaba owner invited to run an Indian restaurant in London.
  • Recurring notes point to tonal inconsistency, slack pacing, and comedy that seldom lands, alongside music that lacks staying power.
  • Juneja’s performance draws consistent praise, while views on Kamani are split, and veterans Ashutosh Rana, Sanjay Mishra, and Gulshan Grover receive credit for support.
