Buddha in a Traffic Jam movie review: what critics say (7)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 0 of 7 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 5 gave it 2 or less.
The plot is preposterous, and by the end of the film, all us critics were laughing in exhausted disbelief. Is this a real movie? Did someone fund this? Is this actually releasing in theatres?
Read the full reviewTo sum up, a scene from the film summarises our feeling for the film; "We love 'Buddha in a Traffic Jam' but we aren't in love with it".
Read the full review'Buddha In A Traffic Jam' is mostly in English which might be a problem for the producer. But it is certainly a one-time watch.
Read the full reviewNonsensical attempt to sound posh by giving it a fancy title and claiming that it tackles subjects like Naxalites in Chattisgarh.
Read the full reviewThe issue with this film is not that it packs in too many issues. It's just that it has too many of its own.
Read the full reviewBuddha In A Traffic Jam is a propagandist film in the garb of a political satire. It preaches more than what it can practice.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know
Vikram is a happy-go-lucky management student from a top Business School of India. He becomes an overnight sensation after a successful internet campaign against the radical fundamentalism of moral policing in India. This prompts his university teacher – Professor Ranjan Batki, to throw him a challenge for yet another internet campaign that would help raise money via a non-profit Pottery Club for poor people living in Maoists areas of India. Little does Vikram know that he is about to become a part of a plot that would risk his life and the nation. He gets entangled between two corrupt facets of India – Socialism and Capitalism, both of which are deeply rooted in India. It's a story inspired from true life incidents of Underbelly India.
