PM Narendra Modi
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Whether you believe or don’t believe in the political philosophy of Narendra Modi is secondary, as a film, this one is too lopsided for you to appreciate. It leaves a lot unanswered. While it firmly believes ‘Modi ek insaan nahi, soch hai’, we wish the script was as thoughtful.
-
As a bio-pic, it inhabits muddled, post-truth territory. As a hagiography though, genuflecting at the altar of the man, it’s perfect. It’s uncritical, unquestioning, high on rhetoric. And there’s nothing accidental about it.
-
Decidedly, a puff piece that glorifies the supreme leader...
-
Since we are talking of India’s most powerful leader, naturally one expected the film to be a hagiography. And this is exactly what it is.
-
Some films dramatise facts. This one dramatises drama.
-
Given how obsessed we are with politics, we deserve better films about the topic. Sadly, Bollywood has never been great with political cinema. And this film doesn't change that notion.
-
The film is strictly for laughs but the joke is on us, guys.
-
All this would still be some degree of tolerable if all the whitewashing and manipulations were to lift the prestige of the nation. Alas, any and all of what we see benefits one man and one man only.
-
Mitron, Bhaiyon or Behano, our PM Shri Narendra Modi doesn’t require such artificial, soulless glory in ‘reels’, Modi is an experience that is experienced best in ‘real’ and a true Indian knows it.
-
Maybe the makers of PM Narendra Modi the film should have taken their own recipe of the perfect tea a little seriously: add just a bit of sugar. Because when you have too much sugar, the tea is inedible.
-
This is a monumental ode to hubris. The film, PM Narendra Modi, is an embarrassment, and even if every scene were true, the smugness is cringeworthy.
-
Any insights the movie offers into Modi’s rise are inadvertent. The monomaniacal focus on one man above all else will surely be of interest to those who study how cinema can be used for propaganda.
-
There are a lot of holes to pick if you want to. But, if you’re a Modi fan, you obviously think the other way and will enjoy the movie.
-
...this is a film that would be disappointing to the faithful, and by recent count that could well be half the nation.
-
...falls into the so-bad-it-could-be-fun category, except that it is not fun at all – it is, instead, an insult to viewer intelligence and viewer knowledge.
