Makkhi movie review: what critics say (11)
What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 8 of 11 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more. Praised: the direction, the script and the visuals.
In all other respects, 'Makkhi' is great, non-stop, universal fun.
Read the full reviewBy the end, I was clapping and rooting for the fly. How many films can get you emotionally invested in an insect? Makkhi is a mad roller coaster ride that's worth taking.
Makkhi directed by S S Rajamouli is a hugely creative enterprise that also entertains aplenty. It also throws open possibilities for other filmmakers to think out of the box.
It's a super-duper film, one that cannot be missed at any cost.

Read the full reviewThis one could easily be passed off as yet another south Indian pot boiler had it not have a fly as its protagonist. And Makkhi scores simply because someone had the brainwave to think of a film from a house fly’s perspective.
Read the full reviewDespite some absurd situations, Makkhi entertains in a way only South Indian films do – through heavy doses of maar-dhaad, filmi dialogues and comic relief.
A blend of Animation , VFX, visualisation and some great screenplay, 'Makkhi' is an art that's worked for Director Rajamoulli yet again. Definitely a must watch for the kids and Animation lovers.
After 2 hours and 15 minutes of visual brilliance, our appetites were deeply satisfied.

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 one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
