Critic Reviews for Mission Mangal

All Critics (15) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (6)

Ultimately it's a consummate Vidya Balan who rises above everything else and, thankfully, makes Mission Mangal all about a good-hearted matriarch instead of a patronising patriarch.

The human interactions are the best part of the film. The downer comes from the science bits, clearly crafted for dummies.

Shubhra Gupta
The Indian Express
Jagan Shakti's exhilaratingly schmaltzy fact-based drama about India's epochal launch of a Mars-bound satellite is a rousing crowd-pleaser.

Mission Mangal is watchable, if not always exhilarating, if you can get over its excesses.

Saibal Chatterjee
NDTV
The film's tech talk is dumbed down to a laughable degree, with metaphors ranging from cooking to cricket supplanting anything approaching actual rocket science.

James Marsh
South China Morning Post
Some merit can be awarded for technical competency and a game supporting cast but, otherwise, Mission Mangal is the most simplistically boring trip to Mars one could take.

Film Inquiry
It's hard to make intelligence look entertaining. But it's harder to make intelligence look stupid. And yet, this is exactly what Mission Mangal manages to do.

Film Companion
In between the gimmicky jugaad philosophising and meaningless sub-plots, Mission Mangal manages to devote some time to space technology...

Most of its shortcomings are overshadowed by the camaraderie shared by the cast.

All-in-all, watch the film to savour a path-breaking milestone in India's space exploration history, never mind the scientific inaccuracies...

Devesh Sharma
Filmfare
It is impossible not to enjoy a movie like Mission Mangal, given the subject matter it deals with... One only wishes the makers had dialled down the theatrics and allowed the audience to quietly revel in the moment.

Despite the ups and downs, this story does make you believe that dreams do come true, especially in the vast expanses of the outer space.
