Kapil Kapoor, a businessman, goes through many challenges and unexpected changes when the Indian government enters globalization in an attempt to emerge as a global economic superpower.

Film Companion

A few perceptive moments from the film will remain with me, but I suspect it'll be more in the language of unrelated memories; I wouldn't know where to place them, or why they appeal to me in a particular context.

Rated: 2.5/5

Firstpost

If the film does not come together as a whole, it is for clearly identifiable reasons: first, the cast is a mixed bag; second, the English dialogues do not sit well on several of them; third, the equation between the five Kapoors is not fully established.

Rated: 1.5/5

The Times of India

A crowd funded effort, Mantra is a brave film that delves into the complex world of urban relationships and poses the right questions.

Rated: 3.5/5

Set in 2004, focussing on the economic and social changes that were kicked off in the 1990s, and released in 2017, Mantra ultimately belongs nowhere.

Hindustan Times

Mantra is worth watching if only to be able to be able to look back at that period -- the 1990s to the early 2000s -- and remember what it was really like.

Rated: 3/5
