Reception
Savio Zacharia of Indiaglitz.com said that though Harry Baweja fails in certain parts, Harman Baweja manages to impress with his acting and dancing. Priyanka Chopra is not all that impressive in spite of getting a meaty role. Boman Irani and Archana Puran Singh were praised for their good acting.
Taran Adarsh of Indiatimes called Harman the new flavour of the season and someone who will have a long stay in Bollywood.
Noyon Jyoti Parasara of AOL said the movie is above average and gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5. "The problem with Love Story 2050 is that right from the first shot it seems to be an advertisement for Harman Baweja." She said that "Harman is the man and he does not let you down, especially considering he is a newcomer.
Anand Vaishnav of Sify.com found the film quite corny and the characters "plain annoying" at times. He criticised what he called the repeated and cliched dialogues such as: "I don’t need luck, I have love" by Harman's character Karan. He said the film was unoriginal and very similar to many other films. He added, however, that Harman is confident but his dialogue delivery is sub par and that Chopra looked fabulous and is a fairly good performer.
Buzz18.com said that the movie just "drags on" being an excessive three hours long. Harman was said to be in need of a lot of work on his acting, especially on his dialogue delivery while Priyanka's performance was deemed "lacklustre".
Sheeba Hasan of Masala.com feels the film was an "immense disappointment" and "a waste of a Rs. 500 million budget". The hyped special effects were said to be "inconsistent" and even "amateurish".
Indicine.com said that "the story is nonsensical, the love story lacks soul, you do not feel for any single character in the movie". The dialogues in the movie were said to be especially "irritating". However, Harman was said to be a good dancer with good screen presence but needs to improve in the acting department.
Raja Sen of Rediff.com called the movie "absolutely ridiculous" with "nothing to offer". In reference to Harman Baweja, Sen said "He cannot act. He does not look good. He does not have screen presence".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene.

“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
