Critic Reviews for Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (6)

  • The film passed me by in the first hour. It enticed me back again in the second half. But not enough to make me forget the inert prologue, which is minus drama, which is Bhardawaj's true forte.

    Shubhra Gupta

    The Indian Express

  • Save for a couple of visually engaging dance numbers, mostly shot with hand-held digital cameras, MKBKM is dishearteningly banal.

    Simon Abrams

    Village Voice

  • Judicious editing could have helped consolidate the joyfulness at the expense of occasionally repetitive narrative flab, but for the most part "Matru" is neatly energetic, a mix of screwball whimsy and softball seriousness.

    Robert Abele

    Los Angeles Times

  • A mix of gently outraged populism and low-powered romantic comedy, Vishal Bhardwaj's "Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola" might have been better with a chunk lopped off its two-and-a-half-hour runtime.

  • Mixes Politics With Romance And Does Justice To Neither

  • Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is a disappointing film, one that could have been so much more.
