Leave your thoughts about Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola.
| Digital SpyPriya JoshiA zany satire that will leave you either mesmerised by its brilliance or just a little dazed by it's lunacy. |
| ScreenAnarchyJ HurtadoMixes Politics With Romance And Does Justice To Neither |
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterA technically proficient widescreen opus that shifts, jarringly, between a generic love-triangle rom-com, a farcical political black comedy and a preachy message-movie. Some fragmented images and well-played moments leave an impact; most don't. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleFor the most part "Matru" is neatly energetic, a mix of screwball whimsy and softball seriousness. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAgreeably amusing but unduly extended, Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola suggests what might have resulted had Rodgers and Hammerstein lived long enough to attempt a Broadway musical about the Occupy Wall Street movement. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarMatru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is a disappointing film, one that could have been so much more. |
| The New York TimesRachel SaltzA mix of gently outraged populism and low-powered romantic comedy, Vishal Bhardwaj's Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola might have been better with a chunk lopped off its two-and-a-half-hour runtime. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganScattershot romantic comedy about an arranged marriage between an heiress and a politician's son that will ruin several rural farms. |
| The Hollywood ReporterLisa TseringWhat Vishal Bhardwaj's Indian comedy brings in star power, it lacks in humor. |
| Village VoiceSimon AbramsSave for a couple of visually engaging dance numbers, mostly shot with hand-held digital cameras, MKBKM is dishearteningly banal. |
