Detective Sherdil

Character build up is as strong as thin layer of ice, the gravity of the plot is inversely proportional to gravity of a black hole. Director tried to save the movie but guess what !! It's Daljit's performance which screwed up everything.

The movie could be better if Daljit was replaced by some new comer and writer spent some time thinking about the characters and plot. From time to time editing messed up the screenplay.

Purely made for an audience who has nothing else to watch and can't understand dark or Sherlock like series.

It also seems the movie was supposed to be a webseries but fall bluntly in between it.

Detective Sherdil, starring the ever-charismatic Diljit Dosanjh, had all the ingredients for a quirky, offbeat detective caper-but sadly, it ends up being an overcooked mess. The film struggles so much with its identity that it feels like the director wasn't sure whether they were making a Hindi comedy, a Punjabi slapstick, or a serious detective thriller-and in the process, they've failed at all three.

Diljit, as always, brings charm and likability to the screen, but even he can't salvage a script that's all over the place. The humor flips awkwardly between exaggerated regional jokes and forced Bollywood-style punchlines. This tonal confusion not only breaks the pacing but also disconnects the viewer from whatever emotional or narrative stakes the film tries to establish.

The detective aspect-promised in the title-barely holds up. Any hint of suspense or mystery is drowned out by comic skits that feel more like outtakes from a Punjabi stage show than elements of a cohesive plot. Scenes that should build intrigue instead derail into gimmicky distractions.

There are moments where you can almost see the potential-clever dialogues here, an interesting clue there-but those moments vanish quickly under the weight of genre confusion. It's as if the director kept switching hats mid-scene: now a detective movie, now a desi comedy, now something else entirely.

Detective Sherdil ultimately feels like a missed opportunity. It had the star power, the premise, and the cultural flair to stand out. But with no clear direction, it ends up being a chaotic mix that satisfies neither fans of mysteries nor those looking for a solid laugh. For all its noise and energy, it lacks clarity and purpose. Proceed only if you're a hardcore Diljit fan-or very, very curious.

Just an amazing film with a classic perfect cast. The movie has done wonders with its pace and story telling. No unnecessary stretch. Just story telling at the place we want. An el nino classic.

Sorry but just had to say this hence repeated the words.

The film's use of local dialects and regional humor adds rich texture often missing from mainstream comedies. Sherdil's malapropisms aren't just random - they're specific to his Punjabi-English code switching, creating jokes that work on multiple linguistic levels. A particularly brilliant running gag involves him misunderstanding English detective terms and creating his own Punjabi equivalents, which somehow prove more effective than the "proper" techniques.

In the realm of literature detective story generates special interest. The venture to unveil the covered one always has a special appeal among the audience of all age groups. After all, who can ignore anything compelling to bite nail out of suspense?

The Movie Detective Shergill is another effort to make Celluloid portrayal of a detective story. Naturally, much was expected from the movie. But unfortunately, it has disappointed. The flaw seems to be too much experimentation. The storyline is straight forward. But it lacks certain important aspects. Rather, there seems certain elements which are contrary to such movie. Significantly, it is a boring narrative altogether and fails to hook the attention. Secondly, the element of surprise is missing. It is hard to understand why the Movie is so lengthy. Importantly, if one asks about the length of a detective story, it means nothing but worthlessness.

There are too many unnecessary characters in this Movie. The repeated use mouth organ makes things more boring. The way truth gets unveiled in this Movie doesn't sound convincing. Characters are also dull. It will be wrong to call it a detective movie despite named so. Not recommended obviously.
