Mumbaikar

Mumbaikar review :

Premiering this weekend on JioCinema, Mumbaikar is another South remake attempted by Bollywood. This time, they have picked up Lokesh Kanagaraj's far superior Maanagaram (2017) and made an average Hindi movie out of it. Quite unnecessary I would say, as the original Hindi dub of the Tamil hit is available online!!

Anyway, Mumbaikar marks the Bollywood debut of Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi and it's kinda sad he has chosen this launch which offers him no scope at all. In fact, his character is so underdeveloped that you just can't connect with it. Vikrant Massey is another wasted talent here and you sincerely wish this gentleman chooses better projects... for his own good!! The pretty Tanya Maniktala is the proverbial heroine but trust me, she was much better off in A Suitable Boy (2020).

The plot, revolving around a kidnapping gone wrong, which impacts some dozen odd characters ranging from underworld to a BPO (outsourcing) office, is something up Kanagaraj's sleeve. Director Santosh Sivan falters badly with its Hindi remake, which is a bit surprising looking at his rich experience.

Watch Mumbaikar only if you have nothing else to do this weekend.

Excellent movie. Must must watch. Fun. Light, simple.

Actors- Great 5/5 Acting- excellent 5/5 Story- superb 5/5 Direction- good. 4/5 Songs- ok 3/5 Script- 5/5

Confusions, chaos, situational comedy, shuttle hints, It is too good.

I would request audience in their free time pls do watch the movie including youth, police, corporate employees, mumbai dons, honest immigrants and core Mumbaikars

Zabardast drama.

I wonder why some ridiculous drug driven (?) movies are rated 8,9,10 and these simple comedies with amazing situational comedy is rated so low.

Are these portals also hacked by bots and money power. ???

A simple word short review - by - itsbymayank Mayank Louteriya

Firstly it's a mix of individuals Mumbaikar's story.

All the characters have done a good work.

Director have to be like this, he can work in any genre.

A simple one time watch good movie.

A actual life of Mumbai people with some masala in it.

There is a song but in background that's the best thing I believe because makers didn't want to make movie Lengthy.

Unnecessarily makers didn't make it Lengthy and didn't put anything anytime.

Every part and scene is OK and set there.

If you don't know about the makers of the film just go and search it.

To be honest I Mayank Louteriya - Select films not because of only actors but makers..

Thanks - go watch it once.. Review of Mumbaikar by itsbymayank.

This was so soulless, and Vijay Sethupathi role did not suit him in Tamil Maanagaram Munishkanth, Nailed that role, being a person who is totally silly and innocent and it did not suit Vijay Sethupathis personality, over a massive soulless movie that should have not been made. Lokesh K's first movie, and impressed the audience with his style of storytelling, and the issue with Mumbaikar is that it was just a copy-paste without the right emotions. As a big fan of Vijay Sethupathis, I just wish his entry to Hindi film should have been with some great role, and not with this role. I think as the rule goes leave the original as original and don't mess with it.

Really nice and cool movie, I don't know why this movie is getting so low rating, there is no porn scene, we can watch this movie with family, the ending is so beautiful, the actors played their role very well. Yet people are giving such low ratings, people are used to watching only pornographic relationships so such a beautiful movie is getting such low ratings.. Sachin Khedekar, Vikrant Massey, Vijay Sethupathi, Ranveer Shorey, Sanjay Mishra, Hridh Haroon, Tanya Manikatala have all done an amazing job.

But anyway I like the movie very much and I request the director to make the movie... All the best.
