Pad Man movie review: what critics say (15)
What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 9 of 15 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the pacing.
Many films about relevant, important subjects are not actually good movies.
Read the full reviewPadMan isn't a particularly good film. It has tonal problems, swinging between commonplace-ness and flat-out filmi-ness, because it is trying to appeal to many constituencies at the same time.
Read the full reviewPadMan has its premise in place. Now if only it had some wings.
Read the full reviewThe first half is slow and also uses very basic techniques to explain points. But the post-interval portion is fast-paced as also very interesting and engaging.
Read the full reviewPad Man deserves a special mention simply because it got made. A subject that's hushed up even in urban India got a mainstream treatment by a popular actor-director team.
Read the full reviewOverall, though entertaining, Padman is like a long-drawn public-service film that's worth your ticket money.

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.
