Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola Reviews

Once the director gets to the point, we realize its a very meat-and-potatoes kind of story, the most meat-and-potatoes Bharadwaj has been, despite the weird contrivances he includes in the telling of it.

It’s theatrical, insightful, wickedly clever and, often, too funny to even laugh at, if you know what I mean. It is also, as may be apparent, an utterly random movie, sometimes jarringly uneven and frequently meandering.

I am a little disappointed to report that Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola didnt stir up any keen emotions in me. Parts of the film soar but many are saggy and ultimately I was just underwhelmed.

As a social commentary, the film succeeds only intermittently, and is not as complex and effective as last year's Shanghai. There are other ambiguous points in the film. But here's the thing: you ought to watch the film.

But the film crumbles in the climax, giving you an end that is too filmy for satisfaction. The end is one that bars Vishal's latest from becoming an exceptional effort.

Vishal Bhardwaj gives us a film that's enjoyable and relevant in equal measure. I'm going with four out of five for Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola. The year's first gem has arrived - don't miss it!

So if you have an option of watching the movie at a theatre or waiting for it to premiere on television, we suggest you choose the second.

It is a wild, wacky, wicked satire that carries the unmistakable Vishal Bhardwaj signature. But it leaves you with mixed feelings. It isnt a big, bloated blockbuster wannabe.

MKBKM is a comedy-drama that revolves around three zany characters. Bharadwaj does a clean job by creating some peculiar lead characters and placing them in whacky, quirky situations.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola might well be described as Bhardwajs holiday movie a mad story with crazy characters but fortunately for us, even in a light mood, the director can be counted on to say interesting things.

I don't mind a serious film, I don't mind socio-politics, I don't mind satire, I certainly don't mind quirky, dark humor.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola takes us into a whirlwind journey thats incredibly crafted, brilliantly textured, and lusciously witted. The narrative never loses focus, and plods along with effortless ease and impeccable finesse.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola Movie Review: 3/5 stars. What’s Good: The funny bits; the Haryanvi setting; Gulabo’s appearances; Pankaj Kapur’s act.

Ten minutes before the ending of the first half (which is mighty slow), the movie is still trying to set the plot.

MATRU KI BIJLEE KA MANDOLA Fox Star Studios Pvt. Ltd. and VB Pictures’ Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mando­ la (UA) is a story set in a village of Haryana, where Harry Mandola (Pankaj Kapur) is a big business…

But here’s my angst – this movie could have been so much more.
