Here is what the critics thought of EMI :

ApunKaChoice.Com – Review by Nikhil Kumar

The most shocking thing about ‘EMI’ is its end. It comes so abruptly and unexpectedly that I overheard a couple next to me exclaiming with surprise: “Oye! Khatam Ho Gayi!”

Rating : *

BollywoodHungama.com – Review by Taran Adarsh

On the whole, EMI has its share of interesting moments, but they are few and far between. Disappointing!

Rating : *1/2

Glamsham.com – Review by Martin D’Souza

Director Saurab Kadra begins well, bringing to the fore pesky bank callers shoving a loan down your throat and recovery agents making the rounds when they default. Arjun, Ashish, Neha, Kulbhushan and Urmila all convey well the angst in their given situations. Malaika Arora Khan who makes her debut in a film, has not much of a role. It’s more of an extension to her item girl tag. This was a wrong role for her to make her full-fledged debut. Sanjay spices up the proceedings with his arrival in his own inimitable way. The dialogues are witty and some are sure to bring the house down, and even though the film clocks a decent 2 hours, 15 minutes could have easily been chopped off. The plot drags when Sattarbhai shows interest in Urmila and therein lies the problem with EMI.

Rating : 2/5

HindustanTimes.com – Review by Khalid Mohamed

Those who conceived this muddle fest should get an EMI  themselves to buy some salt and caramel — to add to the popcorn.

Rating : *1/2

IndiaGlitz.com

Valuating EMI on whole; the film carries good values on terms of theme, but lacks solidity in many portions. Perhaps, Sanjay Dutt is the real savior just not on the screens, but for the producers too.

Verdict:  Middling piece of work

Rating : **½

IndiaTimes.com – Review by Gaurav Malani

Credit it to the lackluster direction but EMI fails to generate interest even in installments. You certainly can’t bank upon this one for entertainment. The next time any call-center employee pesters you with free credit-card offers, recommend EMI to pay them back.

Rating : * ½

MovieTalkies.com

EMI is a film, which can be called a fun film, without being mindless and brainless. It stays rooted to reality and is quite successful in taking a light look at the serious business of loans.

Rating : 2.5/5

NowRunning.com – Reveiw by Ashok Nayak

To sum up, watch EMI only IF you’re a diehard Sanjay Dutt fan. Else, just wait for the DVD.

Rating : **

Rediff.com – Review by Syed Firdaus Ashraf

Dutt is equally entertaining. Watch him as he romances Urmila in the romantic song, Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein. Not bad for an actor touching 50. Overall, though, this Sattarbhai is nowhere close to Munnabhai.

The rest of the cast, except for Arjun, are all wasted.

You can afford to skip this EMI.

Rating : *1/2

Sattar (Sanjay Dutt), owner of Good Luck Recovery Agency, is the savior and the solution for all those ever caught in the debt trap. From bhaigiri to business to politics to social work – that’s how Sattar wants to progress in life. He has already graduated from bhaigiri to business and is now eager to jump into politics. Most sought after by banks, telecom companies and various multinationals, today his Good Luck Recovery Agency is number 1 in India. Sattar follows a simple rule when it comes to his business – Loan liya hai to chukao, shaadi kiya hai to nibhao…

But will Sattar succeed in using this simple principle when dealing with disparate characters and cases like Anil-Shilpa, Chandrakant-Arjun, Ryan and Prerna?

Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures Ltd and produced by Actor Suniel Shetty’s Popcorn Motion Pictures Pvt Ltd EMI is all set to hit the screens on 29th October.

Directed and written by Saurabh Kabra, who debuts as a director with EMI stars Sanjay Dutt, Urmila Matondkar, Malaika Arora Khan, Aashish Chowdhry, Arjun Rampal, Neha Oberoi, Natasha Suri, Manoj Joshi, Dayashankar Pandey, Pushkar Jog and Kulbhushan Kharbanda.

Quite literally too! Sexy lady Urmila Matondkar has a nervous time coming around this Diwali – the gorgeous actress has not one but two ‘Karz’ coming up this festive season.

Well we are talking about her two upcoming movies and the one thing common between the both is to do with ‘karz’. While on the one hand there is Bhushan Kumar’s film titled ‘Karzzzz’ with Himesh Reshammiya and the other hand there is ‘EMI’ which is all about ….. karz, once again!

But the similarities end only till the name. Both the films are very different in terms of their concept where one is a remake of a classic love story and the other is a light-hearted modern day satire.

Well Urmila, Karzzzz hai toh Emi Chukana hi padega eh?

What: EMI music launch
Where: Intercontinental the Grand Hotel, Mumbai
When: Friday (night), 19 September 2008
Spotted at the Event: Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Arjun Rampal, Urmila Matondkar, Jeetendra, Kim Sharma, Ashish Chaudhary, Celina Jaitley, Aarti Chhabria, Tanuja, Tanisha Mukherjee, Malaika Arora Khan, Mohammad Azharuddin, Sangeeta Bijlani, Tusshar Kapoor, Javed Jaaferi, Sophie Chaudhary, Ravi Kishan and others

Well, he will be as soon as he gets back from his two-week holiday in Goa with his girlfriend Manyata. Dutt’s new look for the film EMI (Easy Monthly Installment), includes a trimmed beard and a fit body thanks to the gym. Shooting will commence on December 12th .

EMI, which also stars Urmila Matondkar, is about a couple who cannot bear the burden of their monthly installments. The last time we saw the two stars together was in the film Khoobsurat.
