Ajit Singh J @RT14992520 Aug 27 I watched a movie called Manto. The movie showed me how he struggled to express his true views on the darkness of society. In fact, he paid the price for writing the truth and holding up a mirror to society. This movie gave me the hero I was looking for—courageous and brave, yet sensitive enough to love. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has truly done justice to Manto. See more 06/17/2020 I particularly liked how Manto's stories were related to his own experiences. While I very much liked nawazuddin's acting, his accent was pure UP Urdu speaking accent. Manto was from Amritsar and must have had an accent closer to Punjabi speaking people.

Every performance is exceptional - especially Nawaz and Rasika. It was fun and touching to see famous faces punctuating the stories. I have to single out Gurdas Maan, this movie reminded me after many years what an underrated treasure he is. See more 11/29/2018 What a brilliant film. Manto's stories are beautifully interwoven into the film. The directing is world class, the cast and crew have done a superb job, from the filming to the music and art direction.

A must watch movie. See more 09/24/2018 I loved certain aspects of some tight shots. Overall movement of camera was good. I loved the seamless transition to his stories which seemed like seeing from his eyes (POV). I didn't like the editing. Background score was too standard. Nawazuddin was spectacular. Dialogue writing (I know it is Manto's writing) was thought provoking and witty. Pace was a bit off. Didn't feel a continuous stream of consciousness that flowed through the movie. Did make me want to read Manto though since certain thoughts were extremely powerful. See more Read all reviews
