Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

happy_peace_2004 Superb acting by the whole team especially Shreyas Talpade. A very good storyline which is something very difficult to find these days. I could not predict what was going to happen next. There was a nice blend of subtle comedy, emotions, tragedy - nothing over the top. Kept me wanting to see more of the movie. The sub plots are nothing really new but the way they were shown were interesting. I really like the hero's character - overall good guy but with a few naughty thoughts. I wish there was a bit more screen time from Divya Dutta and Kunal Kapoor.

silvan-desouza Shyam Benegal returns with this film and gives a simple film which suits the multiplex peopleThe film has a nice story and is treated well though there are too many sub plots and too many songs which could be avoidedThe comedy is subtle and nicely done, even the truth of Kunal Kapoor is done well while the entire election part is well handledOf course there are some flaws like how the village has no problem with Shreyas and Amrita meeting and some moreDirection by Shyam Benegal is good Music is okay, but too many songs ruin the filmShreyas steals the show with a simple yet powerful performance, he should do such roles not craps like GOLMAAL RETURNS Amrita Rao too is nice and likable Kunal Kapoor is good in his cameo Ila Arun, Divya Dutta, Yashpal Sharma all lend good support

kamskans A wonderful movie with a wonderful script,screenplay and acting. This film is set in rural India and is based on the life of a letter writer in a land called Sajjanpur. The problems he faces because of his writing and how he utilizes his ability to write to woo his love forms the crux of the story. A thoroughly enjoyable film simply for the sheer comic sense that is filled in the movie. You will literally fall in love with Mahadev played wonderfully well by Shreyas Talpade and he is one actor for the future. Sometimes it is a bit hard to understand the local slang but when the movie finishes you will really have a feeling of having been to rural India and enjoyed life with them. The film also addresses certain issues like widow remarriage,Eunuchs rights etc but not in a serious way. Don't miss rare gems like these go watch this flick now.Shyam Benegal you rock man. We need more directors like you !

nishantkyal I went to see this movie after hearing some good reviews but still doubtful if it was going to be worth the while. The movie started and I knew I was in for a treat. A must watch if you liked Malgudi days that used to air on Doordarshan long back. The focus of the movie is the innocence floating in the village air but it also makes a statement about the superstitions, corruption and some other prevalent evils, though subtly and in a somewhat comic way. The movie doesn't mean to make a moral statement in any way, just tells a story and leaves it to the educated audience to become aware. The music is sweet and I added it to my play list as soon as I got back. Quite a treat to watch!
