Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is a funny yet 'desperate' take on the inflation that has hit our country like a virus.
-
Whoever said "well begun is half done" forgot to add that half done still means another halfway to go, and Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga doesn't manage that journey. This is a sweet film, but it should have been so much more.
-
...is topical, relevant and relatable, with some endearing moments. It may be lacking in face-value, but you can't deny that it's an honest effort!
-
...has a brilliant concept, earnest performances and clean humour.
-
...is too slight to be this year’s Bheja Fry or Welcome to Sajjanpur, but there is no doubting its relevance and sincerity.
-
The film has been written zippily by people who know this world. It looks and feels authentic, minus exaggeration. And the actors look as if they belong.
-
The initially subtle satire gets tiring and then preachy.
-
It's not a bad film at all; it's just not as good as it could've been.
-
...a laudable effort in the genre but has too many factors working against it.
-
A sincere film straight from the heart that takes too long to get going.
-
...falters terribly in its basic premise.
-
The film is an honest intention gone astray.
-
In the end, the film leaves you uncertain with so much more to desire.
