Dreadfully Boring

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The movie started off solid in a serious tone. But then 20 minutes in I gave up. Just couldn't stand the drivel.Why do Bollywood movie makers feel that they need to inject sappy love story, stupid comical 'reliefs' and cheesy romantic songy vibes to make a movie sellable?Have some respect for your work instead of kowtowing to please the hoi polloi. This is why movies from India never wins Oscar.

A man broke down a hillock into pieces with just a hammer and a chisel in 21 years. He was the Mountain Man of India- Dashrath Manjhi. Its disheartening that he never got his due and his family could never come out of poverty. The state government barely did anything to promote him. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has portrayed the character beautifully, but over dramatization at instances steals the charm from the film. It could have been even more shorter and even more solid. However despite clichés, it manages to deliver the what it promised. I would have given it 8/10. But those two extra points are for the man who inspired the movie.

Based on the life of the late/great Dashrath Manjhi, widely known as the "Mountain Man", 'Manjhi: The Mountain Man' is A Well-Acted, Well-Made Film, that tells a true-story with heart. It may lack sharpness in totality, but it has a story to tell & the performances overcome the speed breaks of the narrative.'Manjhi: The Mountain Man' Synopsis: After his wife dies on a treacherous mountain, her husband Manjhi, with using only a hammer and a chisel, spends twenty-two years carving a road through the treacherous mountain.Dashrath Manjhi was a man of pure will & courage. Despite losing almost everyone he loved, he stayed true to his mission & achieved what seemed impossible. 'Manjhi: The Mountain Man' salutes his courageous life & also proves that hope & will can actually overcome a Mountain.The biopic is consistently Well-Directed by Ketan Mehta, who's in top-form after a hiatus. The Filmmaker delivers a rousing story, that has its share of disturbing moments, but is eventually, rewarding. Mehta, Anjum Rajabali & Mahendra Jhakar's Screenplay is finely done, although the pace slackens in the second-hour, which honestly, adds up as a dent in the goings-on. A stronger second-hour was needed, for sure! The Dialogue, however, are as real as it can get. Cinematography, Editing & Costume Design are excellent. Background Score & Make-Up deserve a special mention.Performance-Wise: Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Dashrath Manjhi, delivers a natural, heartfelt performance. The supremely talented actor brings a fabulous layer to the powerful person he depicts & never loses away from him. Radhika Apte as Phaguniya, Manjhi's wife, is wonderful. She melts your heart with her innocence. Prashant Narayanan is top-notch, as always. Pankaj Tripathi is fabulously menacing. Tigmanshu Dhulia leaves a strong impression in a cameo. Gaurav Dwivedi is first-rate.On the whole, 'Manjhi: The Mountain Man' scores higher on pluses. Watch It!

I would say it is the Indian version of Shawshank Redemption. Both these movies are amazing tributes to the indomitable human spirit and that is where the parallel ends. The setting and context are very different for the two movies.The love story provides a very nice context to narrate the story of how frail man surmounts all odds. The social issues of caste system, politics, corruption and the Indian indifferent attitude have been blended very nicely in the story which has taken inspiration from the life of protagonist Dasrath Majhi. There is an amazing simplicity in the entire narration with contextual comedy, scores at the right moment which maintain the tempo of the movie. I found it a gripping narration.Nawaz-ud-din Siddque has done justice to the character. In fact there are very few in Bollywood who could have pulled it off. He is sure growing in stature with every movie.I hope it gets a nomination for the Oscars in some category.
