Anupama Chopra Hindustan Times As the story unravels, the direction becomes more heavy-handed too. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 4, 2017 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost Neither of Madaari's two child actors has the charisma to match up to him. Still, Khan persuades us to invest in them too. May 8, 2019 Full Review Renuka Vyavahare The Times of India More than its social relevance, the highlight of Madaari is Irrfan's awe-inspiring performance. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 17, 2018 Full Review Rachit Gupta Filmfare Despite the glaring flaws and some really cacophonous music, the message of Madaari is resoundingly strong. Rated: 3/5 Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Manjusha Radhakrishnan Gulf News (UAE) Madaari was engaging and touched upon some deep subjects such as corruption, the power of social media and public opinion, with alacrity. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Shilpa Jamkhandikar Reuters As Madaari draws to its predictable conclusion, the only thing you are left wondering is how on earth did the nameless man get enough network coverage for him to watch videos unbuffered and upload them in the middle of nowhere?

Audience Member A must watch Indian film!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best movie....Loved it.....Thanks to produce this type of movies....It's heart touching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie had a great idea but bungled up in the execution. The storytelling is based on a revenge plot by a common man, he undergoes a personal tragedy due to a corruption-related disaster and now is looking for justice. He goes about in achieving it by kidnapping a minister's son. The movie is supposed to be based on real-life events, but on digging deeper found it to be a false claim, only the disaster happened, no one went about seeking retribution in such a style. The problem with the movie was the pacing, with a run time of 2 hr 13 minutes, it's about 40 to 50 minutes too long. Many scenes and sequences were dragged out and not needed, if they could have edited those out, the watching experience would have been more entertaining. It would have been a terrible movie if not for Irrfan Khan's performance, as usual he gives a powerful one. It's really a 3-star movie, but taking one off for the silly claim of based on Real Life Events. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie with a wonderful story and superb performances. Well edited and directed. A good watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Regardless all the flaws in this movie, I will it a five star. It's message is really strong. Had Bollywood been a good film company, this movie would have been recognized. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a heart renching tail.... and in spite of everything the system remains! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
