Bollywood Hungama
As far as the performances of the film are concerned, it is the debutante actor Barun Sobti's film, right from the word go. He is definitely a name, face and a bundle of talent to watch out for in the time to come. His ability to handle the call of the situations is really worth appreciating. He is probably the only saving grace of the film.

Barun Sobti is Mr. Right, everything else is wrong...
...One of these hopefuls is Sukhwinder AKA Sukhi, who is obviously Aliya's Mr. Wrong but a turn of events and we will all realize that he's actually Mr. Right. And within reason, because the ever charming Barun Sobti is in fact all that is right in this film. Sukhwinder is crass, brash and loud. He can't speak English, he swears and he burps. He's a Punjabi boy from Delhi struggling to make it as a hero. He might be that one element in this film that seems out of place, but he is actually its saving grace. Amidst unlikable characters and a non-existent screenplay, the suave and charismatic Sobti is an obviously naturally talented actor, and you really feel bad for him for getting such a raw deal with his debut film. Be assured, if there's any reason it's possible to sit through it, it's him.
...the only name that emerges victorious is Sobti's, who is definitely Mr. Right. But with grave flaws that make the film almost unbearable, even he can't save this love story from turning into a dud story.

Pluses: Barun Sobti is decent performer
Performance wise Barun Sobti is letdown by poor writing and direction but he displays certain kind of honesty in his performance.
Times Of India
Television actor Barun Sobti makes his Bollywood debut here and is probably the only saving grace of this film. Perfectly cast as a diehard Salman Khan fan, Barun amuses you with his desi humour and does complete justice to the role.
Now Running
The only respite in the films comes from debutant Barun Sobti. The actor, a well known TV name, is like a breeze of fresh air in the film. He is charming at oozes energy. He excels in his role as the loud spoken Delhi guy turned the posh London gentleman. Which makes the film even more tragic - this actor deserved a better launch!
Bollywood Life
Barun Sobti saves this otherwise dissapointing film!
Barun Sobti delivers an earnest performance. If he picks the right project, I am sure he will be taken seriously and be offered good roles.
Pinkvilla
But in this amateurish film, one talent shines through. Barun Sobti is worth watching out for- he is natural, manages to escape the trappings of juvenile dialogues & an unimaginative script, and enacts Sukhi with flair. It's the only performance that redeems this otherwise lame film.

Main Aur Mr. Riight Movie Review: Barun Sobti is a riot & deserves standing ovation
Barun Sobti is a riot. Flitting between the characters of Sukhi and Hridhaan, Sobti displays rare genius that has to be inborn. The times when he accidently slips into the Sukhi mode, when playing Hridhaan is something to watch out for. His eye-contact, body movements and dialogue delivery is a lesson in motion. You can't get your eyes off the screen when he is out there.
Mid Day
In terms of performance, Barun Sobti makes a promising impression with his debut feature film. There's something charming about the way he carries himself on the big screen.
Movies Adda
Barun Sobti looks cool and does his part with total grace. If this actor is offered a better film, he will do full wonders in it. Sadly, out here due to his weak characterization, he ends up delivering a medium level of performance.

Sobti gets the hungry-actor look right
Claps n Slaps
Debutant Barun Sobti is good as the struggling Punjabi lad. But since the script is weak, there not much that the actor can do justice to.
India Forums
Barun Sobti essays the role of Sukhi in the movie, who is a struggling actor. He does his part quite well and his effort is noticeable and worth mentioning. He has essayed a character which has a comic element, which he does hilariously well and the only time one will laugh in the movie.
The Hindu
...Barun is not bad either but they have been saddled with a material that has long lost its bite.

Main Aur Mr Right - Watch it only for Barun Sobti!
The only becoming factor here is TV hottie Barun Sobti's ability to make the unlikely transformation stick with some nifty acting. But for his resplendent ability to convince and engage, this defeatist enterprise would have sunk without a trace!
