Unfortunately Nandita Das's sophomore directorial venture Manto serves neither as a primer on the (in)famous author, nor offers any deeper insight to those familiar with his oeuvre. September 7, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Going in, I'd expected Manto to provoke and make a statement at every opportunity. What I got instead, was an unflinching portrait of a man who despised taking the middle road. March 11, 2019 | Full Review…

Manto is an engrossing experience and one that finds itself perhaps more relevant today than it might've been even ten years ago. October 4, 2018 | Full Review…

The maestro Zakir Hussain provides an intricate background score, one that is occasionally highlighted by a discordant, drunken sitar twang. This sense of intoxication informs the visuals as well. September 21, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

As Manto, Siddiqui is at the top of his game, embodying his mannerisms and body language, but even he cannot make up for the flaws in the script. September 21, 2018 | Full Review…

Director Nandita Das beautifully stitches five of the famous Urdu author's short stories into the narrative of his life's definitive five-year period. But perhaps her film's most distinctive trait is its contextualization of his life through his work... September 21, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There is a wealth of detail here, based on copious research. However, in order to make sense of the numerous cameos and walk-on parts, viewers need to have a little knowledge of the world Manto inhabited September 21, 2018 | Full Review…

...it's a faithful recreation of the life and times of one of Indian subcontinent's literary giants whose writings are still as relevant today as they were then. September 20, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Manto is a highly watchable, immediately thought-provoking cinematic work that does not have to deliver sledgehammer blows quite in the manner of Manto's more confrontational stories. September 18, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
