Critic Reviews for Panga

All Critics (17) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (1)

Panga creates a lived-in world with characters who have depth and personality...

Anupama Chopra
Film Companion
Kangana Ranaut's latest is all heart and charm, with an emotional wallop at the end...

Namrata Joshi
The Hindu
Ranaut's Jaya... elevates the movie, putting the story across better than the script can. Ranaut makes Jaya credible and specific; she's not an every woman or every mom or every athlete.

Rachel Saltz
New York Times
Panga's strength lies in its capable cast, which brings heart to a largely contrived script that tells more than it shows.

Aparita Bhandari
Globe and Mail
That Jaya Nigam, played with absolute conviction by Kangana Ranuat, dares to dream of a past life where she was in the spotlight, is a straight-off win, subject-wise.

Shubhra Gupta
The Indian Express
Intelligently scripted, deftly directed and well-acted.

Panga isn't limited to a tussle in a kabaddi match.It's about not letting life get the better of you . Even at the end it isn't a carefully curated victory lap that the film offers .It ends with a million possibilities &that's the beauty of Panga.

Stutee Ghosh
The Quint
Panga is an inspiring love letter to mothers everywhere, telling them that their dreams are valid.

Musanna Ahmed
Film Inquiry
It is only in the second half that it gradually becomes evident that, heartwarming though the film's positivity is, it also ends up giving us a sanitised view of middle-class India and women's struggles.

Anna M.M. Vetticad
Firstpost
A sports drama film without caricatured villains is a bold movie. It has its pay-off, but also its trade-off...

Prathyush Parasuraman
Film Companion
Panga can best be described as a collection of small moments - many resonate, some fall flat. And even though Panga doesn't hit all the right notes, it does a successful job of merging Bollywood's two dearly loved themes...

February 1, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Sonali Kokra
The National (UAE)
Panga is a film made by a woman, with women at its centre, making out a case for women needing to push for comebacks. It makes the right kind of noise about women empowerment without being preachy.
