Mastram movie review: what critics say (11)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 1 of 11 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 8 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the action.
The re-creation of an era, and why this series became so successful, which could have lent the film some heft, is wholly missing from the story.
Read the full reviewThere are so many ideas here about writing, sexual desire, fantasy, hypocrisy, the artist in the marketplace but they remain unexplored. Mastram is an opportunity lost.
But instead of a layered film that explores Mastarams peculiar predicament, debutant director Akhilesh Jaiswal creates a curiously inert narrative.

While the story looks and feels realistic enough, as a viewer, we were intrigued to see and learn more about the elusive Mastram and hoping to find a flamboyant (even if in his own imagination) character.
Read the full reviewThe film will disappoint those who go to see it in the hopes of catching a lot of ‘action’, for there are no explicit scenes in the films.

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.
