Critic Reviews

Scott Foundas

The most affable and endearing of the recent wave of films about Indian immigrants assimilating in the West. Read full review

J.R. Jones

The comic juice tends to spill out in all directions. Read full review

Marrit Ingman

Yaar has enough heart to redeem its cruder moments, and it turns out to be quite a little charmer. Read full review

Nita Rao

This breezy comedy deconstructs the struggles of assimilation, satirizing the stereotypical "culture clash" Indian-American identity narrative. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Clearly understands its target audience of first-generation Indian-Americans and has its pleasures to provide. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Though harmless and reasonably good-natured, Where's The Party Yaar? ("yaar" translates as "dude") doesn't add many novel touches to its predictable formula, except for a couple of limp nods to Bollywood song-and-dance numbers. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

For the most part, the acting is shrill and cartoonish. Indeed, most of the actors appear to be, in the finest desi filmmaking tradition, from the filmmakers' close circle of friends and family. Read full review
