PHULE is a powerful biopic unveiling the untold story of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule, the visionary reformers who fought for girls' education, the rights of the oppressed, and widows.

The film progresses through key life moments, almost as if visually and dutifully depicting Wikipedia entries for the Phules.

The Indian Express

If there hadn’t been such a pointless fuss made around its subject, ‘Phule’ would have come off exactly as it is, a middling, talky period drama about a remarkable revolutionary couple which set much-needed reforms in motion.

Rated: 2.5/5

Phule tells an inspiring tale but it is not the sort of crowd-pleasing movie that could inveigle those who watch and enjoy Chhaava and Tanhaji. It is strictly for those who can separate grain from cinematic chaff.

Rated: 3.5/5

Phule may not captivate in the traditional sense of a biopic, but it succeeds in educating and honoring two of India’s most important yet often overlooked reformers. It’s a film that opens your eyes, even if it doesn’t always grip your heart.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Times of India

From a cinematic standpoint, this biographical drama refrains from sensationalism. It avoids artificial narrative highs and instead opts for a grounded, realistic tone.

Anant Mahadevan's Phule is a very well made biopic avoiding the usual melodrama troupes. The movie not only makes strong political statements through its crisp dialogues it also scores as a relationship drama. The mutual respect and love which Jyothiba and Savitri have each other is rare to find in couples whether its of past or present. My full review of the movie available in rigoberthareviews.com

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
