Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
rahuldivaker Just like the Shawshank Redemption this movie shows you the power of perseverance and love. Nawazuddin is one of the finest actor Indian film industry ever produced. Lucky to see this movie.
sevdakarababa-71077 I m watching Bollywood movies to understand Hindi language and find out similar words with my language. So that reason i have to watch so many movies. I like the idea of movie but didnt like it script, dialoque and directors job. Some of the acting isnt good tooo much acting makes fake its not natural. i wish they showed more paralel political and social statu changing in India same time.
Saish Gaonkar India where Bollywood is center of Hindi movie industry it is very difficult to see a movie with a blend of a good story line actors who really play the role as if its actually his real life. Manjhi is based on true story where nawaz portrays the character of Dasharath manjhi, we knew that a person called manjhi has cut down a mountain to pay a way between 2 cities so that no one will face the problem which his wife had faced through. But know one knew what struggle he had gone though to complete this huge task. This movie beautifully portrays the story which will leave you overwhelmed. Radhika apte also plays a strong character of a beautiful wife and has given her above par performance. Director Ketan Mehta has given anything he could to make this biography come to life. and one of the important thing not to miss apart from performance are the dialogues, Dialogues are best part of the movie which will leave you mesmerized. Over all Manjhi is a must watch.
namashi_1 Based on the life of the late/great Dashrath Manjhi, widely known as the "Mountain Man", 'Manjhi: The Mountain Man' is A Well-Acted, Well-Made Film, that tells a true-story with heart. It may lack sharpness in totality, but it has a story to tell & the performances overcome the speed breaks of the narrative.'Manjhi: The Mountain Man' Synopsis: After his wife dies on a treacherous mountain, her husband Manjhi, with using only a hammer and a chisel, spends twenty-two years carving a road through the treacherous mountain.Dashrath Manjhi was a man of pure will & courage. Despite losing almost everyone he loved, he stayed true to his mission & achieved what seemed impossible. 'Manjhi: The Mountain Man' salutes his courageous life & also proves that hope & will can actually overcome a Mountain.The biopic is consistently Well-Directed by Ketan Mehta, who's in top-form after a hiatus. The Filmmaker delivers a rousing story, that has its share of disturbing moments, but is eventually, rewarding. Mehta, Anjum Rajabali & Mahendra Jhakar's Screenplay is finely done, although the pace slackens in the second-hour, which honestly, adds up as a dent in the goings-on. A stronger second-hour was needed, for sure! The Dialogue, however, are as real as it can get. Cinematography, Editing & Costume Design are excellent. Background Score & Make-Up deserve a special mention.Performance-Wise: Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Dashrath Manjhi, delivers a natural, heartfelt performance. The supremely talented actor brings a fabulous layer to the powerful person he depicts & never loses away from him. Radhika Apte as Phaguniya, Manjhi's wife, is wonderful. She melts your heart with her innocence. Prashant Narayanan is top-notch, as always. Pankaj Tripathi is fabulously menacing. Tigmanshu Dhulia leaves a strong impression in a cameo. Gaurav Dwivedi is first-rate.On the whole, 'Manjhi: The Mountain Man' scores higher on pluses. Watch It!
