The direction is bad. The writing doesn't make any sense. The dialogues are pathetic. And the music (Shankar Ehsaan Loy), which is a key in Musicals, is disappointing. The runtime is short by Bollywood standards (1 hour 45 minutes) but you feel extremely relieved when the end credits roll.

Marigold is a deliriously bad film, suffering in almost every department of filmmaking- so much so that it is almost a textbook case on how not to make a film. What starts off as an earnest, somewhat watch able flick soon turns into an awful showcase for some truly lazy, lackluster direction by Willard Carroll.
