“Graced with an appealing cast and a witty script, Gupta’s third feature could easily gain acceptance with art-house and multicultural audiences both in the U.S. and overseas.” Hollywood Reporter
“Watch out for… Amit Gupta’s delicious romantic comedy One Crazy Thing, which is a love letter to London in the way Woody Allen’s Manhattan was to New York and Jean Luc Godard’s Breathless to Paris” Baz Bamigboye, Daily Mail
“Amit Gupta’s One Crazy Thing is incredibly witty and charming. And while it adheres to romantic-comedy conventions, it manages to make them seem fresh through some deft writing and some wonderful performances… One Crazy Thing is one crazy good film.” Bollyspice
