| FilmfareRachit GuptaThe problem with Manjhi is that it oversimplifies the story to the point where it becomes a run-of-the-mill good versus bad saga. |
| Scroll.inUdita JhunjhunwalaNawazuddin Siddiqui takes on the challenging lead role with guns fully loaded. |
| The National (UAE)Ujala Ali KhanEven the actors -- some of the finest in India -- let you down in places. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarEven an actor as accomplished as Nawazuddin Siddiqui seems to have given in to the shrill tone of the film, turning in what is perhaps his weakest performance so far in what should have been a meaty role. |
| User ReviewNitesh Kwonderful movie.. everyone must watch it. |
| User ReviewSurajit Kumar MVery good movie, shows the pathetic situation in Bihar, and the super human will power of man with nothing who over came all the misfortune |
| User ReviewAriful Ivery emotional movie, acting was perfect. |
| User ReviewAakash GManjhi : Shandar, zabardast, zindabad! the story could had been better with the amount of talent of its cast! |
| User ReviewYash BAwesome Biopic but could have done more. Manjhi's determination was close to madness, the journey we were shown was a significant one for the actions he took and others reactions to it. The movie shows us a very different & realistic view of rural backwater India, touching lots of sensitive issues and practices but not getting muddled with them. Nawazuddin Siddiqui gives a brilliant performance, really gets into the skin of the character. Felt the story, script & acting deserved better production values, also felt there was much more scope in squeezing the many emotional scenes. Ketan Mehta does a good job of direction just it could have been much better. |
| User ReviewPavan RA true story which is well depicted and enacted. Well directed and a very good watch overall. |
