Mere Pyare Prime Minister
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is an earnest fairy-tale, modest but far from memorable.
-
...the film is a sweet, slice-of-life drama about a kid who loves his mother and wants her life to be just a little bit better.
-
...it has its heart at the right place and is an endearingly relevant letter to the Prime Minister. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mann Ki Baat has a heart.
-
At best, serves as an introduction to a Mumbai slum’s dire toilet situation. A rather tepid narration of a story that aims to tug at our heart and awaken a sleeping Mr. System. Succeeds at neither owing to its simplistic take.
-
Despite its heartwarming intentions, liberal soul and some interesting actors, Mere Pyare Prime Minister is an underwhelming experience.
-
...lacks the necessary impact.
-
...loses direction as it navigates its way through its good intentions and delays an outcome that is predicted from the first frame of the button-cute kids running around the slum.
-
...the attempt at balancing the serious with the jokey sits uneasy. And there’s no getting away from the all-hail-the-PM rah-rah-ness...
-
Appearing to be overly focused on delivering a message, the director has compromised on delivering a well-crafted cinematic experience.
-
That you don't feel for anyone in this film (let alone, the issue), with the camera hovering around a bunch of parallel songs/story-lines, aimed to extend a simple short film into a full-length feature, is perhaps worse.
