Leave your thoughts about Begum Jaan.
| The Times of IndiaMeena IyerHaving the 11 women in one frame becomes nothing but a screech-fest. Having Vidya in a film is an asset though. She is an audacious actor, who merits an extra half star for her ability to shoulder a film. |
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathIt sounds like a wonderful and welcome alternative to mansplaining - but perhaps it might have been more effective if the movie had opted for subtlety rather than crudeness and the women had been flesh-and-blood rather than paper-thin. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarMukherji doesn't seem to be able to tie together the twin themes of partition and the exploitation of women. |
| FilmfareRachit GuptaWhile the movie does get a lot of things right, it just lacks a little conviction in presenting its powerful ideas. |
| The HinduNamrata JoshiEach scene feels consciously staged than unprompted and the flow from one sequence to the next is perennially jerky leading to way too much chaos on- screen. |
