Reviews:
2.5 Zig Marasigan (Rappler)
“Mumbai Love goes through the motions of a film that isn’t quite Bollywood or mainstream Philippine cinema. But instead of taking the best of both worlds, it stumbles on their pitfalls instead.” (Read full review)
2.0 Philbert Dy (Click the City)
“The film refuses to be interesting. It instead reverts to formula, offering up long looks and love songs and wedding proposals between two people who really don’t treat each other very well.” (Read full review)
