Kazmi evidently has a lot of things to say. Some useful, some outdated. He might just be using the wrong medium.

Rated: 1.5/5

The kindest thing that can be said about Mantostaan is that it means well.

Rated: 1/5

Mantostaan seems like the first draft of a potentially unputdownable book. A slightly more experienced filmmaker would have done wonders with it. But in this state, it's like a decent read with a great epilogue.

Rated: 2.5/5

The acting is largely amateurish, the scenes are poorly paced and directed, and the production is far too tacky for the big screen.
