    As real as it can be.

    I am so surprised to see such a grounded realistic movie.

    Some of people may not feel it.

    Born in similar places i felt so connected thoroughly.

    What ever was shown in movie i have seen all this since my childhood in front of my eyes.language spoken and living style and scenarios all are very real and practial which was shown in movie.

    Felt like i am seeing it happening in front of my eyes as i used to see it.

    While watching it i went through all sad and happy emotions goosebumps eyes full of tears.

    The scale and gap of status was shown is Very harsh reality of today's world.. Kudos to makers for making such a great movie..

    Much respect !

    Worthy of Oscar

    This film is perfect. A treat for cinema lovers.

    Actor Prakash Jha has overpowered his director image.

    He has perfected the role of a daily wage laborer so well that you cannot imagine any other actor for this role. Reality cannot be closer than this movie.

    It will move you and without being preachy it delivers the message silently but effectively. Anyone coming from the rural India knows that it is not a movie truth. I would love to see such movies become blockbuster and earn equal to what Yashraj and Dharma production movie earns which only have beautiful faces, exotic location and item song.

    The old golden cinema

    I would like to thank Mr. Prakash Jha for making a great movie. What a heart winning movie you made, this kind of cinema bollywood needs.

    I was tired if watching bad movies, this was healing and detox for the bad experiences I had previously. The story was close to my heart, brings back old memories of village..............

    Amazing story telling and reality of today's world. Great acting and direction, nothing was overdone. Loved every scene of the movie. Hope the movie gets lot of love from audience to and you make of movies like this in future.

    Thanks to the entire team of Matto ki Saikil for an amazing cinema.

    One of the best art movie

    Not close to but actual reality of poor community in india, politician are only see their benefit abd poor become poor. No life of poor. Amazing acting by Prakash Jha and team all were superb. I felt that I was not watching movie but live documentary. All were so real.

    After long time watched actual art direction and real acting by actors no weak points in movie I would say lot better than all crap bolloywood movies who are not close to reality.

    Making this kind of movie makes lots of guts and effects.

    Really happy to see Prakash jha acting he is so real and observed the character of labour guy. Who earn hard money every day.

    A must watch.

    Prakash Jha is a treat to watch. The whole cast is simply the best. Pure acting and perfect direction! No exaggeration at all. It feels so real that you forget you are watching a movie. This is the kind of cinema we need more of. The story is heart wrenching and thought-provoking. It evokes all sorts of emotions in you -gratitude, anger, sadness, frustration, helplessness. There are moments that teach you the joy in small things. The story is so engrossing that it stays with you for a long time. The beginning engages you thoroughly and the ending is so strong. In the end, the movie says everything without saying anything at all. Kudos to the whole team for making such a soulful movie.
