Kunal Kemmu’s directorial film “Vibe,” starring Kemmu, Preity Zinta and Sparsh Shrivastava, releases in theatres and draws a mixed early response. Reviewers and social media users highlight that the movie combines comedy, action, friendship and a terrorist-threat plot that involves a mission to protect the country.
The Free Press Journal says the film starts strongly, with the first half paced well and featuring genuinely funny moments and effective chemistry between Kemmu’s Hardik and Shrivastava’s Bugs. It adds that momentum drops after the interval as comedy fades, the writing feels stretched, and the second half becomes crowded. It also reports music is decent but not widely impactful beyond a catchy title track. In contrast, Times of India focuses more on positive audience reactions on X, especially around the film’s humour and calls for it to be seen in theatres.
On X, netizens express both extremes: some say they “loved” the film, while others criticize a “boring 2nd half,” laggy screenplay, and uneven acting—particularly singling out Zinta’s performance. Overall, the common thread across outlets is strong early engagement for many viewers and divided opinions on how well the latter portions land.
