4 of 10 people found this review helpful The biggest problem with London Dreams is that in a film about music and its lessons in humility, the most crucial musical moments are handled amateurishly, which makes it all look unconvincing...

2 of 5 people found this review helpful London Dreams is a frustratingly dim-witted drama about artistic passion, friendship and insecurity. The script, written by Suresh Nair, has the complexity of a cartoon. Moments of high drama are undermined by sheer silliness...

1 of 2 people found this review helpful In a script that did so much with the male protagonist, it's a shame that the lead woman was so etchily sketched. She could have been more involved. She could at the very least have not disappeared from one of the most crucial plot points in the film!

5 of 6 people found this review helpful The story of friendship and betrayal is ancient, the strength of Vipul Shah's London Dreams lies in pitting Arjun's singular focus against Mannu's natural, almost careless, talent, and in giving plodder Arjun dark shades and the womanising wastrel a heart...
